I just bought a used Yamaha 6SG outboard for my 14' Jon boat. I took it out today and it performed nicely. However, I noticed that when the outboard was lowered, it tilted past vertical, and the outboard kicks up when in reverse. I looked to see if there was a latch/adjustment to fix these two items, and it appears to me that my outboard is missing a part.
I have made a video that will hopefully explain better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLluTq3nQIs (note the video is rather close up - you are looking at the outside of the transom and the lower part of the Motor tilt control and clamp).
Am I indeed missing a part? If so, can I craft a new one out of round metal rod, or what is the name of the part I need to buy? Thanks in advance!
