      quote 1946Zephyr:

      I can imagine drilling into that pin might be tough. Those are tool steel, aren’t they? If you are lucky enough to dril into it, it should come out fairly easy with an extractor…..unless someone locktited it.

      Nope, mild steel, I made a jig for my buddy Scott Parrish to replace them in a 35 or 40 hp motor he was working on. OMC has a tool for that, mine is quite similar. Pins are available and pretty cheap.

        Cool deal. Never had to drill one yet, but now I know 🙂

          Thanks everyone 😀 . I drilled it, and of course the hole is a little bit bigger than original now, but it shouldn’t be a problem if I put a dab of marine tex in the hole before I drop the new pin in there. For the pin, I just grabbed an old drill bit that’s close in size and cut a piece off of it.
