Im working on a 1980 9.8 horsepower mercury outboard. I am having trouble getting the shifter gear to line up with the shaft gear. what can or do i do to fix this..?
Check the spline on the LU shift shaft, as some have a larger spot on the splines that has to match up with the upper shaft on some modles. They have to be lined up before the LU will go completey together.
