I was getting water in the foot oil so I changed it. Checked after a trip to fish and milky again. Soooo, I took the foot off and replace all the parts at the water pump seals and o rings and impeller gaskets everything. Also changed the seals on the lower shaft where the prop is. All went well until I put the foot back on. I was very careful that the water hook ups lined up top gear went in good greased everything good. But there is the small shaft up top in front of the main shaft going into engine that has to line up also, I believe this is the forward and backwards(puts it in gear) Here is the problem I start engine put in gear and nothing happens. The prop dont move. OH MY GOSH!!!!! Did I miss something? The only thing I can think of is that small shaft that engages forward and backwards came up when I took the piece off to replace that o ring that is on the part the seal is in. I just pushed it back down and it went in easy. I thank you for your help in advance!!
