dodging storms and waiting for parts have put me on a delay. But the tilt and trim is no functional, new water pump, power pack, plugs, starter, starter solenoid.
she runs now. But have yet to splash for other issues.
Anyway, in the lower unit service (impeller, pump, and new oil) I must have improperly set the shift rod height because I get forward with a good BUMP, but get a grinding “meh” shift into reverse. I tried adjusting the shift cable, but made minimal difference.
according to the manual it should be 21 7/32. But before I take it off, can someone confirm? Although this says it’s an evinrude manual, it seems to cover A LOT of different engines.
And for good measure: am I correct that a clockwise turn to lengthen the shaft would make reverse easier to attain, while making forward more difficult? I’m also wondering if I have the shaft detect pointed the wrong way.
anyway, thanks again.
