Ok guys.... I pulled lower foot off. Replaced all the seals blah blah blah. Went to put shift shaft back in got it set. But when I set foward straight ahead in order for it to change to reverse the bent piece turns to the right.... but on my boat the linkage turns to the left. It's like they are opposite. What am I doing wwrong here???? Help!!!!!!!
 
shift shaft not installed correctly,if the shift shaft rotates clockwise more than 12:00
Full clockwise with the prop locked is Fwd gear
 
if you rotate the prop Counter clockwise with the shift shaft at the 12:00 position it should LOCK up.
 
if you rotate the prop Counter clockwise with the shift shaft at the 12:00 position it should LOCK up.
And conversely with the shift shaft turned fully counterclockwise ( about 10:00 position when looking straight down at it )the prop will lock clockwise , this is reverse gear
