the pin is holding the broken piece of the top of the piston arm to the bracket on the motor. Motor mounted on stern.

I have soaked it in rust remover and will let it sit for few more days and go after it. I will be doing a heat treatment

on the bracket and try to stay away from the pin, I am not too keen on hitting the pin it with a cool aresol as I am I'm afraid I might crack the bracket on the motor with the rapid cool down of the pin.

my plan so far is to heat the bracket from below and use like a punch on the pin to push it out. I am going to see if the store has a slide hammer of some sorts. Or it will be the sledge and I have a long carriage bolt that is slightly smaller diameter than the pin that I have been trying yesterday before the rain. The unit itself took about 5 minutes to get out.

I have found a place in Florida online that will rebuild for $400 (internal rebuild after a cleaning and all new seals in the piston and everywhere else. but it does not include large parts that might be needed. As in the reservoir the motor and the piston. I have to call them as they said they could possibly have cores around that have parts to use (piston, reservoir tank, I would want a new motor). But at that point I am thinking that is $700 or so in that range after pricing parts out online, and a brand new whole unit is $1,000 online.

Once that pin is out, it would be a new pin and bushings anyways, so could care less about damaging the pin. The unit is repairable but parts costs: $90 for reservoir tank, $150 for new piston arm, $300 for the motor and then a seal kit at $50, would have to be cleaned out, water got in as this happened underway while adjusting trim, and then adding fulid. Then it would be about 15-20 minutes of reinstalling it

I'm not comfortable myself rebuilding it internally as everything needs to come apart and out and put back together again (tools, time experience) - reason looking for someone local to rebuild but if costs to rebuild and replace parts is north of $600 rather just buy a new one, at same time can't believe how much a new unit on such a small motor costs
