First was being too gentle with the alignment tool. A harder knock up and it aligned the gimble to the coupler. Also to gentle when trying to get the last 1/2 inch of the lower end on. I knew the shaft and the coupler were aligned just wouldn't go all the way on. I figured it was the last two o...
Mercrusier Alfa 1 gen 2. Reistalled lower end and attached shift cable. Prop seems to be running correctly in all grears. But make a clanking noise briefly when shifting out of nutual to other gears.
I think I remember it doing this before but want to check if this is normal.
That looked good. I installed the lower end (did not have the sift cable attached to the motor). I manually moved the bell housing shifter info forward as well as the shifter on the lower end. They were mated and in the forward position when we I stalled the lower end.

I didn't over grease the end of the saft.
The shift leavers are mating properly in...
