Re: Shift lever 1987 80hp Mecury
I recommend you remove the gearcase before attempting to install the powerhead. It is too hard to try to line up the driveshaft with the crankshaft. It will be real easy to ruin the splines on the driveshaft or crank, or both.
Once you get the powerhead installed, make sure the gearcase is in neutral, the control is in neutral, and then install the gearcase. it is much easier to mate the driveshaft and shift shafts.
