I recently dropped the lower unit on my Yamaha SX225TXRA to replace the impeller. I later learned that since that time, I am not able to make the propeller turn in either direction. Moving the throttle in either direction revs the engine but the propeller does not engage in either direction (forward or reverse). Everything worked prior to me dropping the lower unit... I know that the water pump works properly so I believe I put things back together properly - except for the shifting into gear.
I THINK that I screwed up by not marking the shaft so that I can put it back in the same position when I put the lower unit back on BUT not sure... Before I drop the lower unit again, I need guidance as to what other things could be the cause of this problem. If it seems like the likely cause is the position of the shaft, what is the best way to get the shaft back to the correct position. Is there any technique that can be done that will save me time over moving the shaft, trying, adjusting, trying again etc...
Ask questions as I don't know if I have provided all the information needed...
