1977 115 hp Johnson (115EL77S) Was trying to get a jump start on getting my outboard ready for spring time fishing. After I removed the lower unit I forgot that I had not put the unit in reverse :( . Now I am having trouble getting it back on. Is there anyway to put the lower unit in reverse while it is off the motor, so I can turn the prop and get it to go the rest of the way? Any help would be app recited.
