Hello!

Laddies probably answered this with the photo (but I'm getting a red X since I'm at work), but if not:

[Looking at the Lower Unit from the stbd side] When the LU is in forward the shift shaft will freely turn clockwise until the top of the ramp on the reverse cam reaches 12:00 it will also turn "freely" counter clockwise until the bottom of the reverse cam reaches 3:00. At this point you will feel resistance. In neutral the middle of the ramp will be at 3:00 and when in reverse, the top of the cam ramp will be at 3:00 (right beneath the pushrod for the reverse lock).
