Hi folks,
Well I made it to the mooring without a shutdown thanks to Don and this site's help. One repair I performed was an adjustment of the forward/reverse gears. Everything ran smoothly until I got to the mooring and had to do some shifting between forward and reverse. Forward would not click into detent. Upon inspection I found that the retaining pin had come out of the collar. I fished around with a magnet and found only the lock washer. (I don't remember this being on when I disassembled). What do I do now? I don't like the idea of a loose bolt in my crankcase! Thanks for any advice.
