Re: shifting is backwards
Hi Fishnfool,<br /> Have you recently replaced the lower unit? Is the motor new to you? Chances are you've gotten a hydromechanical shift lower unit onto a straight mechanical shift motor. They shift backwards from each other. Most of the straight mechanical shift units have a skeg that has the trailing edge angled behind the gearcase bullet, while hydromechs (most of them) have a skeg that has the trailing edge coming straight down from the gearcase bullet. This is not a foolproof method, as skegs get welded, filed, cut, etc.<br /> The fix is to use the appropriate bellcrank up top that the shift cable attaches to. If you do have the h-m unit, you'll need the bellcrank from a h-m motor.<br />- Scott
