Hello Everyone,
I can't seem to get this thing adjusted right. I have installed a brand new lower cable kit, and before I put the out drive back on the cable ran in and out nice and smooth. Both cables free play and travel is within spec. When I adjust the cables according to the procedure, then take it to Neutral the prop free spins nicely with no ratcheting. Go to reverse and the prop locks up nice when spinning the prop CLOCKWISE. Shift back to FWD and the prop free spins like it's in neutral with no prop lock up spinning it COUNTER CLOCKWISE. I have played with the adjustment all day with no results. I have even pulled the Lower unit off and checked to make sure the splined shaft was clocked full CLOCKWISE and the shoe was fully at 12 O'Clock when I installed the lower unit. I can remove the lower shift cable and while having another person spin the prop in the appropriate direction for the gear selected the lower unit works fine. But put it all back according to the procedure and it doesn't work. I'm all out of ideas, so I thought I would tap the infinite wisdom here.
Thanks so much in advance
