After hitting an unmarked pipeline in the water, i pulled the lower unit and cleaned out, and replaced prop but the prop will not engage into gear and spin..This is an Alpha1 drive. If anyone can tell me is there a shear pin to check? is it possible that everything isnt lined up correctly when i put lower unit back on? Or hopefully not but is there some major damage here? I am hoping i am just missing something stupid.

Re: Prop not spinning

The shift shaft. Make sure it is bolted up,and adjusted properly. Also, the pin bracket at the base of the shift shaft is made of pot metal,and they break very easy.
