Good Morning all,
First time posting. I recently moved up from an outboard to a mercruiser I/0, 4.3 l . First issue when I went to prep for season was impeller. With the help of many posts from I boats, I was able to replace on my own. One issue was that I mistakenly left in gear when I installed lower unit. I started and ran, saw the issue, removed and re-installed. I noticed when I was re installing that it was difficult to shift lower unit by hand. When I re installed the lower unit, it ran but would stall when I put in drive. I was able to run in reverse and shift to drive, but it has only run once. Re remaining 2 times it has stalled and ai am not able to restart until I let it sit for a period of time. Any thoughts.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions and help.
