Installing one of my alpha one drives and Can't believe I did this.....

[crazy charlie]

1988 twin 5.0 alpha one drives.Dropped my orange widget shifter installation retainer upon installation and its still in there. Had to jack up the stern of my 10k lb boat a few inches to ease installing the drives(have to pay better attention to my hauler when blocking it up) Hauler set the stern a little too low.That was pain in the ass #1 . Drive lined up pretty well now that the stern is 2 " higher. Forgot the name but I use a little orange widget which snaps onto mounting stud closest to shifter and has an arm to support shifter while installing the drive.got my drive slowly on and was just past the point of no return with an inch left to go and popped off the widget and thought it fell to the ground but later found out that it didn't. so its sitting with the body of the shift shoe.I dont think it will cause an issue as I use a lot of grease there and I am assuming it will just stick to where it is till next season. I have a spare drive and will post a pic of where it is left sitting.Everything else went well and shifts fwd, neut, and reverse perfectly.CANT believe I did that!!!!!! Charlie
