Re: can't find reverse
Its all relative... my description was looking fwd, looking down (as if you had the drive off, and you were stradling the top of the drive looking down onto the shift shoe on the intermediate shift shaft). from straight fwd (in fwd), it will rotate CCW to get to neutral and rev. So your description while looking up is correct. Also check... when straight fwd, and you try to rotate the prop CCW, it will lock (and you should hold it in this position when putting the drive back on the boat, e.g., with a bungee cord.) If you rotate the prop CW, it ratchet on the clutch dogs. You'll get the opposite affect if you rotate the shift shaft to "rev" position...the prop will lock if rotated CW and will ratchet if rotated CCW. Thats the way I check to make sure my shift shaft is assembled correctly before reinstalling the drive to the bell housing.
