I changed the lower gears and can not get the shifting linkage adjusted correctly. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Re: 59 evinrude 10 hp shifting linkage adjustment

HiMrfixit. Welcome to iboats. Great little motor you got there. I used to have a '61 10 hp myself. What sort of problem are you having exactly? Are you unable to connect the upper and lower shift rods, or is it simply not going into/out of gear properly? Here are some links to read in the mean time that may be help.

thanks for the reply, yes it just doesnt shift correctly. I tried adjusting on the top by the shifter handle. I will check out those links you posted.
