Yes, Captkw, you are correct on the motor in the Youtube - I have watched that many times but the shift shaft in the video is very short, only maybe 2
or 3 inches long, allowing you to see the female end of the shaft in the cowling. The 4 strokes have about a 12" long shift shaft, and it has long
disappeared into it's cowling space - you have to 'feel' it.
By the way, the Mercury manual for the 4 stroke is incorrect also, it shows the shift shaft in the lower end to be very short. They may have used the
drawings from the 2 stroke. In 2003-1/2, they changed the gear linkage a little as there were a lot of complaints about difficult shifting from
forward to reverse. Mine was 2005, post fix, and maybe they never updated the manual. Also, it's instructions on the position of the gear lever is
confusing:
1. before you remove the lower end put it in forward.
2. During the time your are repairing the impeller, it says to put it in neutral.
3. Before reinstalling the lower end, put it back in forward.
This makes no sense to me, but then, neither does why one day a Adams gets then and the next day only a coachman. I just makes sure I have both.

No run yet - it has been shop tested. Will do my first hard core run on Sunday, but only after first going to church for the first time in many, many
years. Might as well get all the help I can. What would be the appropriate amount to put in the hat when it passeth? I'm a little out of practice on
this stuff and don't want to offend.

That's funny because SWMBO just mentioned that since I got a rather large REFUND this year, and under the theory of 10% giving, I should take out
$88.32. I'm pretty sure this will be a problem. Maybe I'll ix-nay the church thing and just go for it. Anyway, I gave away my last suit to Goodwill
10 years ago - if one of my friends die I'll go to the funeral, as long as there is an open bar of course, but in black Dockers, black shoes and a
freshly washed and ironed long sleeve shirt. I'll try and not wear white socks. That's it.

i disagree...how to youtubes are GREAT!!!
the future is learning from the internet not books...
schools will use youtubes or something like that to teach kids
it''s the future too...like 4 strokes
how else could you learn this kind of stuff
a paid boat mechanic hahahaaha
if you do-it-yourself ...boat mechanics would go broke

HOLA, I have watched many boat repair vids on you tube and read a lot boat forums and its crazy what guys tell other guys to do to thier boat motors
and your welcome to do what you want!!!! santiagos story happens many times a day in the state of cali.... let alone the the world (mundo) marine
motors are a rare breed and if you do not know them inside and out you will not get attention to detail and performance...I will always be booked a
month out as these are not your grandpals motors of yesteryear,,they take lots of training,study,know how,and if you dont know what your doing you
F-UP a very pricey motor...BOB do you have a boat?? and are willing to take another look at 2 strokes or are you gonna stay in the dark and not catch
the wave!! so far you have been rude to me me and keep saying what the hell is the real game..you might start to learn,ask.listen instead of shooting
you mouth off about things that are way over your head...have NICE day...K&T

I've been tearing around Folsom Lake these last few days, motor works just fine. Folsom is formed by damming the confluence of the south and north
forks of the American rivers and as such, forms a large 'V' and as is normal for this time of the year, the lake is low with lots of hazard buoys out.
Plenty of water for skiers and power boaters, just need to keep an eye out. No alcohol allowed on this lake, by the way.
Anyway, while zipping around, the 'evil' Santiago realized that if I did it just right, I could totally destroy the lower end if not the entire drive
chain by hitting on of these submerged rocks at full speed.
Let's see, insurance company pays Santiago $7000+ for putting a hole in the bottom of his engine and then would have to pay for major damage to the
lower end, at the very least. Evil Santiago did the math and figures that would pay for a new 115HP Evinrude E-tech, sweeet. Now, 'honest' Santiago
will win this debate, but still, it's comforting to know that Progressive's got my back.
