I recently took off the lower unit of my 88 15 hp outboard to change water pump impeller. the rubber cover of the pump cover came off causing a dramatic reduction in water getting to the power head. I put it back together and started reinstalling however the shift rod is offset about 15 degress. so it will not fit back on the shift cam. I bought an online manual which was a complete waste of money since it does not address the problem.
I can push the rod all the way down then it will be in line with the shift cam but then when connected it will not shift. so I took it off again and found it will only shift when in the offset position. Does anyone have any insight into this problem? thanks in advance.
