so I snapped the head of my shift shaft somehow and I now have a replacement... I just want to verify that when I install the drive again, I want to have the head of the shift shaft pointing straight forward correct? <br /><br />now I can have the prop spinnig forward or rev rotation when the shift shaft is straight forward, I beleve that I want the prop to be in a forward rotation but just want to verify this...<br /><br />Mercruiser Alpha 1 drive<br /><br />THANKS<br /><br />kid
