I have a 2004 50hp 2 stroke. Trying to change impeller. I shifted into forward before starting to remove (or so i thought) and lower dropped an inch, i looked at shifter and it was not all the way forward so i tried to push forward and met resistence, pulled back into neutral and it went into reverse and dropped it a couple more inches but wont come out and i cant put it into forward without fear of breaking something. I need advice!

Re: Immediate help please

Should i unthread the shift shaft linkage that appears to be stopping it from dropping down?

I got it finally, and i did have to loosen the locking nut on the shift shaft and unthread the coupling 5-6 turns and it dropped out.
