Hi folks. I’m relatively new to outboards but not new to working on things with tools
I’ve got a 1976 evinrude 9.9 that I’m having issues with.
I had to replace thrust mounts and when I reassembled everything I can’t get the reverse to lock in. It worked before taking the motor apart. I’ve adjusted the shifter to no avail and I also adjusted the rod in the lower unit with no luck. With the LU off I can easily change the gears and all works properly.
Could I have bent the lower shift rod somehow maybe reassembling? Not sure what to try next ?
