(60 HP Mercury)I recently removed my lower unit to replace the water pump assembly.<br />How do I find neutral with the shifter or adjust the shifter to go in to forward and reverse positions?

Re: Shifter adjustment

Before reinstalling the unit put the unit in rev by turning the shift shaft, reverse is when the prop won't turn clock ways, shift the control to rev and install the unit

To get to reverse do you need to turn the shift shaft all the way to until it stops counter clockwise?
