I had my LU off to do a skeg repair and water pump. I was careful with disassembly but I just want to make sure I put it back together with the reverse cam positioned on the spline correctly. I read before disassembly to put the motor in forward, so currently the motor and LU spline are in Fwd. If putting in neutral is better I can. But still need to ensure I have the cam aligned correctly in the spline.
Is this picture correct? Motor is a late 80s 3cyl 2 stroke 60hp.

Skeg repair also below. Really happy with it, lucky my brother has some experience welding aluminum and did a tiptop job.

Follow the instructions you posted and it will be fine...if you have power trim you dont need it.

Thanks, I was definitely just second guessing it since I've had the LU off since December
