How to disconnect Evinrude shift rod - remove lower unit - shift rod link pin

- Update:
1 - when you put the shift pin back in, use some sort of thread locker or sealant, be sure NOT to over tighten it. Its very easy to break the thread.
2 - I recommend removing the longest bolt, the one closest to the propeller facing upward first. It is the longest and if you remove the other bolts first its easy to stress it and cause a break.
I made another video talking about Shift Rod alignment when Re-Installing the Lower Unit: • Troubleshoot Outboard ...
To remove the lower unit on an Evinrude Outboard the Shift Link needs to be disconnected.
The Shift Link joins the lower unit gear shift rod to the upper engine part. This is the only tricky part that involved removing the lower unit. All other screws / bolts are on the bottom where the lower unit is attached.
The engine show is a 1995 40HP Evinrude Two Stroke.

Only video that was actually helpful to find and remove the screw holding the shift rod. Without learning to remove the starter I don't know if I ever would have found it. Thank You!
Thank you very much. I was waching many boring and too long videos from different Evinrude/Johnson outboards, and all of those were wrong types. Then I found this and you showed it in two minutes.
DUDE THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! Been trying to take my lower unit off for 2 days and had no idea I had to remove starter. You are awesome and thanks again!!!!
You do not have to, but its much easier then removing the plastic housing.
Same thanks man
Thanks, this was the step I couldn’t find anything on and you nailed it.
Be sure to tighten it good / use thread locker. Vibration can cause this screw to fall out. I have been meaning to 3d print / make a replacement piece with a pin, so it never falls out.
Thanks mate, so elegantly simple and very helpful.
Thank you sir your video was to the point I'm working on mine today was looking everywhere for linkage bolt . Have a wonderful day
Use a 1/4" drive ratchet with a long extension and a swivel socket.. I find this is the easiest way.. If your swivel is too floppy, wrap a piece of electronical tape around the swivel joint. And when reinstalling the linkage bolt hold it in the swivel soket with tape. Then pull it off after the bolt is started...
@harry pag haha! Electric tape..or black take.. My cell puts words in my mouth..lol
Yeah I've been using a ujoint, works well.
or put silicon in joints night before the removal
Thank you so much, this is by far the best shift linkage video on youtube!
yeah, it just is not for a 90hp. I would like to know if it is a pin or a bolt. Cant even get to it, probably will have to remove the lower carb.
Great quality video !!
I agree, it is no big deal to remove the starter motor, the lower pan is much more of a pain, especially during reassembly...
Thank you for this. It is the same for my johnson 50tleds. When I started to remove the lower unit there was some resistance at the beginning similar to when the top of the rod comes through the bushing at the bottom of the upper unit. Is there a second bushing at the top of the hole just underneath where the rod attaches to the linkage? I'm wondering if what I was feeling was the bend in the rod possibly pulling an upper bushing down into the tube and the bushing is still inside the tube and not covering the hole at the top of the rod.
Thank you sir. Short and sweet!
Musti is that you!!! Lmao
You da man!! Dropping the foot on a 77 evinrude 200
The shift linkage is located in a different position on your 200hp, in between the carbs and intake manifold...Removing that starter won't help on this engine...
@@fleetwin1 Good call, always be sure you can see your shift linkage before you remove anything.
Great video! I havle lost the connecting screw,anybody know the oemnr or whar thread and lenght of the screw?
Thank you!
This is not too off topic, but I need help doing the linkage adjusting/synchronization on my 1997 Johnson 15hp tiller model 2strk. The manual says to remove pin retaining throttle lever connector. However, you cannot access this without removing the lower power head cowling, which I attempted to do but there is one screw I cannot get to as it is almost underneath the power head by the latch mechanism and no way to access. Was wondering if anyone has ever been successful performing this synchro procedure and if so, how did you successfully remove that last screw (located inside the cowling, towards the back of the powerhead, right by the latch mechanism)? Thanks in advance!
Thank you
Should I be able to shift my motor from rev, neutral, fwd, by hand like that? Mine does not. Is there something else that needs to be disconnected?
Just bought the boat and only had in the water for test drive. Shifted fine from the console shifter, but not by hand at the motor. Any info would be appreciated.
Once you remove bolt then that’s it ? Nothing else ?
30hp e-tec 2015.
Shift rod has become disconnected at the top.
Do I need to remove the engine to re-connect it
Its putting it back in where the fun begins taking it out is easy just unscrew it
Just make sure you keep track of it and don't rotate it after.
I’m needing to install the whole shifter the forward and reverse handle and shaft that goes to the shift rod in the lower unit how’s the easiest way to do this.
Its not too difficult but you will need to remove the lower cowling (two plastic half's) of the motor cover. Its pretty self explanatory.
Hello Everyone ok thanks I took the old motor apart to get the rod off the shaft from the handle. It didn’t look to bad of a job.
No you put the motor in reverse then remove the linkage bolt. Then unbolt the lower unit, otherwise the lower unit will just fall out! Too much pressure on the linkage bolt! Read the service manual.
absolutely, make sure you remove the pin before removing the bottom fully.
I'm thinking most people who are looking for this info don't have the manual bud
Thx
Do you by chance have the part number for the pin that goes into the shift rod and do they make a new piece with the 2 holes the pin goes through? My threaded pin broke and it broke what I think is a ear off as well.
If you go to marine engine website you can find all the part numbers and diagrams.
look up water pump removal, all replacement adds pop up
Have a 2014 90hp etec. (E90DSLABB) Starter is in different place. Do I have to remove lower cowlings?
Most likely, id try to find some diagrams online.
Thank you. If I was a smarter man, maybe I would've realized to remove the starter. But I'm not....
Not the same for other models. I guess you will know if it’s the same as yours if looks similar. Or we could guess? I say 1990 40hp??
Imo, it would have made a lot of sense to say the model & year of the engine being worked on.
I know right? So tired of these "I'm helping people" videos missing vital info.
What size is that bolt?
Great video! Have you ever had problems with the shift rod not lining back up with the linkage upon reinstall? That's what I'm trying to work through right now. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
This means a few things. First off make sure both the lower unit and the top are in same gear. Say push / pull the rod so its in forward, and set the engine at top to forward. Now check to see if the holes align. If they still do not it likely means you turned it accidentally while working on it. You now need to rotate the shiftrod left or right to have it match the hole above. Once you have it all lined up, put the shift link pin in and you should be good. Be sure to now test the shifting, forward - neutral - reverse, all should work well.
@@cenkaetaya Thanks! I literally just finished doing exactly that. Had to take the lower unit off again to put it in neutral. Now we're good to go! Well, the motor won't crank, but one problem at a time i guess.
@@harrisondirks9540 yep 1 problem at a time. thanks I will actually use your question and make a short video explaining this tonight.
@@cenkaetaya can't wait!
th-cam.com/video/eP4NGrCa-HY/w-d-xo.html The rod should ideally be set at factory height, which I show at the end of video.
What of it doesn't have a linkage HELP BRO LOL IVE GOT WHOLE MOTOR APART STARTER , EVEN REMOVED THE CARBARATOR AND STILL DONT SEE A LINKAGE 😞
Now I guess you could do it this way but why? Pull the two pins on the shift arm on the opposite side of the motor where the linkage and cables meet and push in on the shift arm and it will push that pin out of the shifter rod to free it. Don't need to take anything off other than those pins.
c&s boatworks, it would be great if you would put a vid on u tube to demonstrate what u are saying. Thanks in advance.
@@NiraTocco its got a big clip holding it in place next to shift cables
how does unscrewing this release the lower unit ?
This is the only thing holding it on outside of the 5 bolts on the bottom. You ideally do not want to unscrew the bottom and have it hang on this pin. Remove this first, and then the bolts below.
Also measure the length of the rod when it comes out and be careful to not change it, as if you rotate the shift rod itl screw up the shifting calibration.
And that’s for a 1981 Evinrude 25 horse as well ?
Its basically the same except the screw is facing toward the front of the boat not the side like on this model.
Sorry, the 81 25hp is totally different....There is an oval panel that must be removed on the right side of the exhaust housing, about half way down....The shift rod connector is behind that access panel...
how did you do to remove the pin to free the shift link
lt144 you just unscrew it. It's a regular Bolt. Put a socket on it and turn. Does that help?
THANKYOU.....uhh.
What year is this motor?
1990-1996 somewhere around there.
that's all fine and danty, how do you get the goddamn thing back in?
Lol omg.. bolt, screw, pin!?!? How do you pull the pin out if you can't grab it? There's no srew head or bolt head. Just a pin. Evinrude 150 1994
On these motors it is a screw. I don't think its the best choice, a pin release makes more sense in this situation.
So apparently the idiot that owned my motor previously king knoned the bolt on the shifter connecting bracket so much that broke the head off. So what do I do now, cut the shift rod and then remove the whole assy on top to install a new bracket ???
@@ManuelPerez-gz3ky Hi. Did you find a solution? I have the exact same problem...
@@chriscoote9963 thought I had the same problem, turns out it's not a broke bolt it's just a pin, take that bugger bolt off and gently pry the thing off until the shift rod is free
Just one more video of someone NOT demonstrating, exactly how to take it off.
I noticed you don’t remove, or reinstall the pin! LOL
Yes I removed it prior.
@@cenkaetaya guessing that’s what people really want to see!!
Not really much help, when your video is on "how to disconnect the shift rod", but you don't show how to disconnect the shift rod.
Overall it is a bad design
