I have a 1985 Merc/Cruiser Ford 140 that overheated and needed the water pump changed in the stern drive. I'm having problems re-installing the stern drive...once the engine died when the throttle was placed in neutral. Next installation attempt made my throttle only go into forward gear and I couldn't disengage the propeller drive. Can anyone please tell me what the trick is to re-installing the stern drive on this merc/cruiser.<br /> Thanks

be sure to align the shif linkage in the front of the lower unit. Also be sure to get bolts back in proper order

Need to double check the details.

1985 - MerCruiser - Ford don't go together.
