Salvage Options: Old 2-Stroke Swivel Bracket Parts

Ok, so some nice person messaged me and said I could meet them at their island property and look at their motor to see what's up. This is good, because I discovered that the part I thought was broken was not broken.

What IS broken is the rod that connects to the gear shifter that pulls the reverse lock down (unlocks) when put in forward and locks when in neutral or reverse. Because this is broken, the user needs to reach under and manually unlock the motor to pull it up and/or lock it, so it doesn't pull up when in reverse.

So, there are two options: 1. Continue on the path to fixing it completely or 2. Tie a string to make it work. In #2, it would be a piece of twine to allow L'il Buddy to pull the hook up/down to lock/unlock the motor.

Thoughts?
