I accidently removed the shift cradle screw. I reinstalled it without ever moving the shifter and it went in smoothly. I wonder if I tested it correctly. When in netural, prop spins freely, when in forward and I turn the flywheel by hand the prop moves in the correct direction. When in reverse and flywheel is turned, prop moves in the correct position. Does everything seem to be correct here? Is there anything else I should check before taking boat out on the water? Any good advice would be appreciated.
