I have had an E mail to Garry for 3 weeks now to both Florida & Michigan without a repy, I’m sad he didn’t reply! I knew he was writing a book a long time ago.

Miss his photos too!

Drop the gearcase & try manually try moving the shift shaft to see if you get F,N,& R before taking it apart. Did you install with gearcase & shift lever both in forward gear & be sure to remove the set screw on the coupling all the way to see  it seats properly.

I had a 54 Evinrude Superfastwin & it’s proberly  the  same design as my 15hp, loved that motor, always ran very well!
