    Mercruiser stalls coming out of reverse

    The cable was shifting fine. I did the impeller, all the bellows, water and oil lines. I did the shift cable because I was there. I guess I'll pull the drive and see what I did. Have done this job 5 or 6 times and never encountered this problem. Thanks for your help Ken
