Hello,
I had my outboard to the mechanic to fix the issue of moisture getting into the lower unit, which worked, but when I initally tested the motor the gears are backwards....forward is reverse, reverse is forward...neutral works well. I called the mechanic and right now they are really busy and I need the boat this weekend....I have done a lot of work on my other mercury 65hp, but that lower unit would never give this problem....I am told that this unit can be reversed for running a reverse prop.
Basically I am asking how do I fix the issue so forward is actually forward. how do I manually set the gearcase before reinstalling the shift rod and lower unit.
thanks so much !!
