Back story:
1988 Mercury 80hp 3cyl (OB195172)
Had problem shifting.
Removed LU / snapped some bolts. Fixed the bolt issue.
Shift problem was somewhere else which has since been fixed.
LU was off and laying on its side for a long, long time.
Put the LU back on today.
LU is stuck in forward.
Took LU off again and shift shaft on the LU will go all the way CCW and I feel the detent.
The shaft can spin approx. 300 deg CW and I feel nothing along the way.
The prop stays in forward. No neutral, no reverse.
Ideas or advice welcome.
