Finally got my manual today,after I put in new impeler kit and lower unit back on. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should of shimmed the water pump housing or not. The drive shaft seemed to have a little more drag to it after reasembly,but I figured it was just the new impeler.What is an easy way to tell if My lower end is an alpha or not, there was no preload pin in the end of my driveshaft. Also this motor came with a white 3 blade prop and a black 2 blade prop, which one is most likely to be the right one for this motor? thanks Bryan
