Hi,

I recently purchased my first boat with this motor. I replaced the impeller, but when I went to put the lower unit back on, I noticed that the end of the shift rod was bent and the lower unit wouldn't go back on. Is this a normal thing, and if so, any suggestions on how to get the lower unit to mate up?

Thanks, any info would be helpful :)
