Forewarning this will be somewhat long.
I purchased the boat a few months ago and it already had a brand new SEI 116 Upper and lower unit on it. I had an incident catching a rock on the prop, and ended up having the lower unit sent off for warranty work. They sent me a brand new one. Before this the boat shifted and performed perfectly. No issues. Ever since I changed the lower unit out, when I come out of gear from either forward or reverse it stalls out and dies most likely from engaging the shift interuptor for to long. Going into forward it's sometimes hesitating as well and I can hear a partial engagement before the firm clunk. So the question is this. Why would changing the lower unit cause shift issues? I have not touched the upper unit nor the cable at all.
I went to go double check my shift cable measurements today and apparently the lower shift cable is peened to the threaded rod. Rather than drilling and putting a bandaid on this, I would like to find the problem and fix it. Do all of the shift cables need to be readjusted because of the new lower? And if so how is the lower shift cable supposed to adjust when I cannot turn the brass barrel.
I've spent hours researching this hoping y'all can help, thank you.
