i split my drive to replace water pump .. all is done and good ...however i believe the shift rod in the lower unit got turned some .. how do i re-index it to forward position so when i put the two halves together and re-install. my forward and reverse will work properly ??
Is an Apha 1 a sterndrive ?Normally, you would drop L/U, turn lower shiftshaft to neutral, put shifter in neutral an re-assem. I would guess the the Alpha 1 would be same principal.
Alpha 1... put remote control in forward.turn lower unit shift shaft clock-wise (while turning propshaft counter-clockwise).now install.Note that if you happen to turn the prop,or propshaft even slightly clock-wise,the shift shaft goes to neutral.DHP
