If you shim those two halves, you may make it fit more loosely around the driveshaft tube than it was originally meant to be. As Tubs pointed out – the parts list doesn’t show any shims. Safe to say that if it didn’t make it into the parts list, Evinrude didn’t put it on the motor.
Hope this helps.
Best,
PM T2October 24, 2017 at 3:15 am #66552I’ll have to take it apart again. The steering is not working. There is a 3/8" gap between the reverse mech and the crankcase. When I set it on the floor it closes up. Turning the lower by hand is a little tight. Oh well, I’ll keep pluggin’ away. Thanks for the parts list and support.
October 24, 2017 at 1:55 pm #66558October 24, 2017 at 8:33 pm #66576Thanks for the photo, Tubs. Part #A262 was turned around backwards. Now I see that the only thing keeping the lower from spinning itself around is the reversing mech. Turning the F-R lets A262 loose momenteraly to catch on the other notch on the reversing mech. Does this sound right? If so, I can understand why some guys welded them.

If you look at the parts picture I posted
you’ll see where someone use screws to make the reversing mech.
inoperable rather than welding. Happened really early in its life
as it is in really good condition.

I have but my desk top is out for repair. Here is a You Tube slideshow
one part at a time.

October 26, 2017 at 2:53 am #66629One more thing worries me. What is keeping the driveshaft and tube from falling out, besides the two bolts on part A262?
October 26, 2017 at 1:28 pm #66637That’s it but my experience is they
are more than adequate. The key
inside the sleeve that attaches to
the crankshaft also has to move
in the slot of the driveshaft at the
same time. Your more likely to
have difficulty in getting the tube
to move than to have is slip out.
The ability to adjust the length of
the motor to what ever the transom
height is on the boat you may be
putting it on is a feature mentioned
in the manual.October 27, 2017 at 2:37 am #66664 -
