This is a messy job for sure. It's stuck in the tube on the Suzuki 55 DT outboard. I am leery of hammering it out. Is this the way to get it out? I had to remove the outboard to fix the transom with fiberglass and make it strong again. I guess it must have gotten a little bent or something. I pulled the cable from the steering wheel and left it on the outboard. Dang it's always something. Is pounding it out a good idea?
