cdowns · 05-05-2009, 10:53 AM

Look under the cowl -- the linkage bushing may need lubricated, or replaced.

It starts out as a clickety-clack and progresses to an even more annoying screeeeee-thump..... screeeee-thump..... Spending some time lubricating the linkage will spare your sanity.

moon · 05-05-2009, 05:18 PM

What is the correct lub to use on the linkage?

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 05-05-2009, 05:33 PM

I used marine grease on mine.
