Thanks for the info. Yes, the offset/hole was facing forward. The procedure as in where to measure from to the center of the hole? Also, it should be in neutral correct?
Have a 1994 Johnson V4 120 hp with model number J120TLERC. I had to replace the lower unit, and I am struggling with finding the correct length for the shift rod for this motor and any tricks to get it hooked back up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
