1996 Evinrude E200TXEDR Shift Rod Adjustment

[Jorge Hedges]

Hello All!


Quick question... I was replacing the waterpump and lower case seals in my 1996 Evinrude Ocean Pro E200TXEDR engine, and I totally forgot to take the the shift rod length... now, the reverse will not engage properly.


My question is, does anyone have the correct shift rod length measurement, or can show me where to find it in a weblink (or a pic of a service manual) that can share, and from where on the gearcase to the top of the offset on the rod is this measurement taken?


My engine lower measure 25"...


Did a LOT of work on the boat and engine these last 3/4 months, and I am just dying to launch it for the first time this summer.


Thank you TONS for the assistance!

26 30/32", plus or minus 1/32".

EDIT:

From the gearcase mating surface (to midsection) to center of shift rod hole (top of rod).
Straight line, not at an angle.....
