I have a 1999 135 HP. Merc and purchased a new water pump and did the install last fall. After everything was put back together, and I run it in forward with the muffs on and the prop turns very little.
After the fact I find out I should have had it shifted in forward before removal of the lower unit.
I may have had it in neutral ,and may have even turned the gear selector splined shaft because I was having trouble alighning everything.
How can I make sure the gear selector coordinates with the lower unit. Looking down on the lower unit with the prop facing towards me can I just turn the lower unit splined shaft fully clockwise or counter clockwise?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
