In shipping sometimes they get stuck. We always had to do that to outboard motors we sold because the floats always stuck on brand new, out of the box motors.

It's a Holly 600. I'll try the hammer thing since it got moved around a couple of times before I got it back on. I'll report back in a few minutes...

If not, how do I check for the other potential problems?
