Yep, your good. You just gotta look for the flat area the shift housing bolts to. There are lots of nooks and crannies down there.

I was wondering when you mentioned you might be 3/4 inch off, I don't think your bellcrank would even allow that lol.

Feel better? :)

A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BETTER!! I really, so badly did not want to take it all apart again. My carpet came today, so it's put the new bunks on, and start on putting the outdrive back on. Thank you.... You made my day. :)

No prob! My bellows, shift plate tools and alignment bar should all be here by tomorrow and Thursday. I have already promised a few friends a day of fishing Friday, so I'm gonna be under the gun a little lol!

Oh man I know how that goes.. I promised the neighbors nephew I would take him crabbing when I got this put back together. He helped me take the upper off the lower. What a pain that was. I thought I was going to need a case of dynamite. It took hours, and hours of slowing twisting, pulling, prying, and lifting to get it off. Then another 3 to 4 hours taking the water passage housing off. Not something I would want to do a lot. Good luck!! I'll be watching the site for your posts of "WTF's".. lol
