[QUOTE="60DRB, post: 471923, member: 11940"] OK, I'm sure plenty of you will have a good laugh at me and I'm fine with that... I have a 1970 Mercury 9.8 which runs fine, but when I put it in reverse gear the propeller climbs up out of the water. I was looking under the mount area and saw a spring with a hooked (aft) end loose. Also, I am wondering what the little lever at the front bottom of the motor is for. I'll take a couple pictures when the light outside gets better. [/QUOTE]
