Funny, I changed the "Cone Clutch" yesterday and put the sterndrive back on the boat, and was wondering what that part was doing when I pushed back the mechanism, thanks for clarifying :) Weird your video came up when I was just thinking about it :) Luckily the clasp is working fine so far.
Hello! And thank you for the video. What does the rod that goes up into the stearing fork on the top left side from the bottom where the actual latch mechanism is?
