I bought a 115HP Johnson user manual from Marine Engine.com and proceeded with
the replacement of the waterpump. I followed all the instructions as
described on page 6.11 for the dismantling of the gearcase which asked me:
1. to rotate the propeller and shift the gearcase to FORWARD
2. to push the shift rod link toward the powerdhead to disengage the shift rod
3 drop the gearcase etc,
After the pump replacement I have repeated in reverse the steps described above to mount the gearcase
but cannot rengage the shift rod to the correct position/operation. The shift lever does not action the
shift rod lever to FORWARD or REVERSE.
When the engine is started,the propeller rotates at the same time (no neutral) only FOWARD
can somenoe provide more instructions to get me out of trouble, as the
manual does not describe the reverse steps clearly
Thanks in advance
