[QUOTE="old_school, post: 195847, member: 4665"] just wanted to post an update on what I have found out - the small shaft in the picture is the shifter shaft and it runs straight up inside the hollow main pin/shaft to the power head/motor still not sure how NOT having the retainer ring will affect safety a mechanic friend (non-boat mechanic) suggested I drill a hole across what is left of the bottom of the shaft and insert a cotter pin - he thinks it will accomplish the same result as the retainer ring I will do that and post results in case someone else has this problem down the road (up the river? - lol) [/QUOTE]
