I removed the lower unit to have the skeg welded (don't ask) and when I reinstalled the gear case, the shift linkage seems to rattle.
- Everything went back together easily and it pumps water great.
- It only rattles when it's in neutral.
- When I put it into either forward or reverse it stops rattling, it also stops just when I start to put it into reverse but it's not quite fully engaged.
The L/U was removed while the console shifter was in reverse position to make it easier to access the coupler lock nut, and the shifter was not moved while the lower was off. I do not know if the guy who welded the skeg shifted on the bench it but they've been in business for 40 years so I doubt it.
- It seems to go into either forward or reverse just fine.
- The shift linkage coupler and lock nut is tight.
Is there some sort of adjustment I am missing? I do not have a manual.
