Re: Shift Lever

[retiredoz]

I thought I did post what could be gleaned form marineengine.com : Up thru ’57 the upper/lower shift rods are the same, the change started ’58. So it’s a fair guess your initial problem was caused by the use of a post-’57 lower unit on a ’57 motor. Unless l’m really out to lunch here, the RD-19 and the RDE-19 are both ’57s, identical except the ‘E’ stands for electric start.
