stuck in forward gear 165hp alpha1 drive

[spareparts]

thanks for the compliment. I usually find the drive lines up better if the drive is a little closer to verticle(trimed further down), its harder on the back though, I use my right knee while squating down to hold the drive in place while starting the nuts. Being right handed, i position myself on the port side of the drive. If you ever let the prop spin back clockwise, start over, it has moved the shift shaft out of position. After you do it for a couple thousand times, it get real easy
