Fleetwin, I moved shift arm coming out of motor downward, keeping finger pressure on arm, while rotating prop back and forth, shifted fully into reverse. Manually shifted arm into reverse position, looked the same, slot and hole were still a hole off. Repeated same procedure for neutral, finger pressure, arm coming out of motor, pressure upward, rotate prop, found neutral, moved arm from reverse to neutral, same slot and hole were still a hole off. Followed same procedure for forward gear, with same results. Shift arm bolts were in place and were loose, so inner arm could move freely without any bind. Does that sound like what you were trying to explain?.
Chinewalker, I took the shift coupler door, 2 screws, off, and removed the top bolt of coupler. I couldn’t see the bottom bolt of coupler, I haven’t had lower unit off yet, I would guess the lower unit will have to come off, to get at this bolt. That might be the next item to look at, What do you think?.
ChrisP, Everything works fine, the prop spin freely, shift arm is in neutral, goes in gear when using shift arm coming out of motor,like the picture shows, only difference is its a hole off for bolt on the outer shift arm. Does that make any sense?.
