Have a 70hp Force. Replaced the starter and when I started it up with muffs to test it, the prop started in forward gear and I’m unable to get it to neutral or reverse. I have included a picture of the lower unit. Any help would be appreciated.
I pulled the LU, shift rod moves and I can get forward and reverse but can’t get the prop to move freely in neutral. When I reattach LU motor starts in forward, won’t go into neutral and when I try reverse it starts to grind.
