Remove lower unit and find neutral by rotating prop while moving shifter shaft....then put your control in the neutral position....re-install lower unit and you should hopefully be good to go....

Mercury uses a twisting motion to shift with a 3 position cam with obviously N being the center slot. I know OMC used to pull up and down. Don't know what they went to back in '68 when they introduced their streamlined lower units.
