    Mc1 mecruiser 260 wants to rev before slaming into gear.

    You happen to have a link for the manual on how to set up the shift cables? Its more like a clicking like its trying to engage but that's if I move the shifter slow. If I do it quickly it will clunk in to gear. But it fully engages right before the throttle engages, like a hair or right as...

Also the...

    76773A1 flywheel housing same as 12675-c1?

    So turns out I had to use a single washer instead of double coil washer in rear mount. Maybe i installed the newer bushings that only require the one washer. I can't remember since jt was over 2 years ago. But now alignment tool will slide in and out easily with 2 fingers

    I found a couple that might be correct on ebay but seller doesn't list part number and I don't see anywhere in the pics of it being stamped. Is it normal for the 76773A1 not to have number on iti

    76773A1 flywheel housing same as 12675-c1?

    So I think I have wrong flywheel houseing for Mt boat. Part number is 59823 I think I need 76773A1 but can't find any. But I see 12675 c1 alot and wondering if that's the same? Or If someone has a 76773A1? This is how far off the alignment tool is off.
