Hello,
So here's my problem... Removed the lower unit from my 77 Evinrude 6hp to change impeller and now when I put it back together I only have neutral and reverse.
With the lower unit dropped about half an inch and the shifting linkage reattached it seems to shift through just fine. However when I bolt it on (even if I force the shift lever to stay in reverse while installing) it feels like it won't move far enough forward to shift into forward gear. Anyone know any tricks to getting this thing back together in working order? The model number is 6704M.
Thanks in advance.
