I have a Nissan 6 HP four-stroke outboard motor on my 14-foot aluminum boat.
Do you believe the shift arm extention, shown in the following photos could cause damage to the internal shifting mechanism of the motor?
This modified motor has been used on a sailboat for the past two years and the owner says it much easier to shift the gears while looking forward.
I was thinking about maybe using a much shorter arm...maybe to the top of the cowl.
