Tried to put the drive on the boat today and it gets hung up about 1 inch before getting to the mating surface on the gimbal housing. Tried three times and checked for whatever could be holding up and saw nothing. Now it's caught on something in there and for the life of me it won't come back out. I'm a mechanic by trade and not a beginner by any means, Just looking for a few suggestions from people that have maybe run into this before. Help guys, I can use it. and yes, it is in the forward position

If it is only an inch from home the splines must be engaged. In that case look at the shift mechanism where the drive engages the gimbal housing. You may need to help the mating pieces align. Another possibility is that the engine alignment is not 100% and the driveshaft is wedged into the splines.
