I have serviced my own drives for the past 25 years so I was shocked when I was about to put one of my drives on that I did a waterpump service on and the prop was locking clockwise instead of c-clockwise.Duhh!! I am always careful to lock the lower unit in fwd before remating the upper and lower. Clockwise on the small splined shaft while c-clockwise on the prop. I can only assume I did the opposite.I just cant believe that I did this....double Duhhh!! I installed the drive anyway and plan to drop the lower just enough to sneak a hooked pliers or my fingertips in and turn the splines clockwise.There is no other way this could have happened ?? Right?? Charlie
