Hello all. I am new to the forum. I have a mid 90's honda 9.9 longshaft outboard motor. I used it as the kicker motor on my sled, and for trolling for fall chinook. I have a problem where the motor comes out of the water if I give the motor a decent amount of throttle in reverse, but this is sometimes required when fighting a big salmon or steelhead. I had an old evinrude at one time that had a lock down, but my Honda dosent seem to have this. Am I missing parts, or is a part broken, or is it just the design of the motor. Thanks for any help. Tom
