Somehow, I believe, my lower unit shifted into neutral and I'm having trouble bolting it on. Get the splines lined up, slide it in just enough so I could almost start screwing on the nuts, and it will push in no further. No obstructions noted.
Or, is there another possible cause as to why it won't just slide on and in? Best advice I got so far was that it sounds like the lower unit is in neutral. Prop spins forward, but not reverse.
Any way/ techinque to shift the detached lower unit into forward without dropping the foot?

thanks for any suggestions
