hi guys i have a mercury 115 hp outboard serial number oc106992 i recently rebuilt the powerhead and the lower unit worked perfectly before i removed the powerhead , i put the powerhead back on the lower section and went to slide the shifter to neutral to put the shift cable back on and the slider wont stay in neutral . i can hold it in neutral by hand but it wont lock into place , it will go into forward and reverse fine
when i put the powerhead on the shift lever was turned way out of its normal travel is it possible i turned it the wrong way thanks for any help in advance
 
Misalignement top to bottom on the shifter. Drop the LU, put 'em both in forward (with ALL the slack out at the bottom) and slip her back together.
