Have you tested it out since you got it back together?
Hearing that you turned the prop, you will want to verify that when your unit is in neutral that your prop turns freely in both directions.
Why? Because I discovered that turning the prop during install can shift the lower unit out of forward, so when you bolt things back together, neutral-on-the-shift-lever is actually forward gear! Makes for quite a surprise when you start it up...
Instead of turning the prop, turn the flywheel (don't forget to REMOVE the spark plugs).. Good luck!
