2014 90hp 4s EFI need help setting lower unit into neutral

[csaephanh]

How do we set the lower unit to neutral on these models?

I performed an impeller change and noticed my prop spins upon startup with the control box in neutral.

My control box was set to neutral when I originally dropped the lower unit. The shift shaft may have bumped itself out of neutral during the removal process as the lower unit didnt come off as easy. I had to use a rubber mallot to break the tension.

You are probably right. F is the least tension position on the cam follower spring in the front end of the prop shaft. After you drop the LU again and set it to N, while the LU shifting linkage is still disconnected, roll the shift shaft on over to R and ensure that you are where you think you are.....remember if the crankshaft isn't turning over you have to manually rotate the prop while attempting to shift due to the vertical sided cogs and slots on the rear of R gear...gotta get them lined up. Then don't forget to twist the shaft back to N.
