Trying to figure out the correct shift rod height for my motor. I had to change out my O rings on my shift rod. My manual is one for multiple engines and I cant seem to know which engine I have, is it 60 deg or 90 degree? is it loop or crossflow? I know from my model number the motor is a 20 inch shaft and its a 1999 motor.

I counted the turns removing the shift rod and I put it back to the same amount of turns. However it doesn't seem to line up with a couple of the shift rod heights in the manual, I had to turn it like 2 more turns. any help would be appreciated.

The dimension is to the center of the hole with the gearcase in neutral.-----------Set it to that height and adjust cable to that.-------Do not turn the shift rod to line it up for the pin to go in !!
