Drop the lower.Install the prop,no nut,you need this to turn the drive shaft.
Put the shifter in F (Did you do anything to the shifter linkage?It's the right drive??)
On the drive, turn the shift shaft to the left.Pulling up on the prop all the while.This will make sure the drive is in forward.
Install the drive.NEVER turn the prop the other way.
Once it's up against the splines,pull the prop up again.This will spin the driveshaft allowing the splines to align.
This should be in gear and all you have to do is send the check!!!

Your standing at the rear of the unit.
Prop blade to your right.Pulling up will make the driveshaft turn if it's in F
If it's not in gear it will either just turn or click.
Turn the shift shaft to the left from the rear.See pic#1 #2 is the prop shaft.
