😯 well.. on the sportwin 9.5 that nut comes with several parts such a friction washers. a spring and… a nut

it would seem odd that one would have stripped that nut… if anything the bolt was likely loosened up to a point of letting go of the nut ( if not retained somehow) does the bolt pull out ?? if yes that nut must be in the drink somewhere ?

have you tried raising the engine all the way up for a colonoscopy 😯 ….under the swivel bracket ….. a new nut may be in order

update…. I peeked under my 9.5… can’t see the nut 😕 … must in the ..hard to reach area under the casing… to bad 😡

solution is probably obvious but not to me … at the moment
