I pulled my lower unit out in the fall to take it in to get the skag fixed along with the prop. I brought the boat home the other day to put the bottom end back in. The motor is a 1975 85HP Mercury.
The bottom end won't go back in, it gets within a inch and will not go back in all the way. I have done this before, and have had no trouble. Have no idea why it won't go back in. It should just pop back in if everything is lined up properly, shouldn't it? I don't want to force in back together. I can tell what is stopping in from going in all the way, I don't know if it's where the shafts line up and the top of the shaft or at the bottom.
Ahy help would be great!!!! Don't really want to take the whole thing apart!!!
Anyone know where you can get free manuals on the internet?
