have clip, but have yet to install it
For years now I have had in a drawer one of those spring clips. I got it from the guys at Moyer, they don't usually sell them but had one lying around the shop. I noticed that mine was missing, maybe it broke and is in the bottom of the gearbox, but I couldn't find it. In the meantime I just Jerry-rigged a thick electrical wire from the bolt through the holes in the nut, and it seems to hold it in place well enough. Maybe that's why the nut has holes. Shortly after when I first got the boat 20 years ago, there was no reverse or neutral, that's when I discovered the clip was missing.
Someday I will get around to the proper installation.
