" I dropped the lower unit to change the impeller. I then thought it would be wise to change the shift rod o-ring seal, at the gearcase. When I unscrewed the shift rod I noticed that only 4 turns of the coil were engaged (there seem to be 10-12). Is this part of the shift linkage adjustment, or should it be screwed fully down? Is there supposed to be a lock nut, that uses that extra 6-8 thread coils?

" No, that is the measurement from the top of the housing to the center of the hole in the top of the rod while in neutral. "
