      I presume we’re talking about the shift rod!

        I install them in forward, too. If I remember right, those splines are cut in such a way that they will only engage in one way. Sometimes that doesn’t make it any easier. Sometimes the splines will actually align better in neutral; but the deal there is not to let the case slip into forward by accident, while you’re jockeying it around.

        Long live American manufacturing!

          Bill, if I get the job, I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks!

            Standing the motor upside down usually helps getting everything lined up.  I discovered this while working on my older Merc 60 6 horse.
