just replaced pinion gear and bearing assembly on 2010 50 hp merc. after putting back together, started up and prop moves in fwd. and reverse but not nuetral. seems like it did before.only ran it for about a minute but so no water coming out from waterpump so i shut it down.any suggestions?
 
confusing? why would prop move in neutral, while it does turn from inertia, it is engaged with no gears. Be sure water tube is lined properly with pump.
