Default Evinrude cant get reverse


You now need to get the manual and reset the shift rod the required amount
of turns out from seated in the LU. Then hook up the rods coupler
correctly.

If it was fine before you started the job.... screwing with the cable only
makes it harder to get back to "ground zero" again.

Have 1992 50 hp, fitted new water pump and it wont select reverse.
Tried adjusting cable and finger thing that selects gear range but to
no avail.
Can get reverse with leg off by moving selector shaft with a long screw
driver.
Also by screwing a long 5/16" unf bolt into the finger thing can pull
bolt up and it goes into reverse.
But when I assemble the leg it wont select reverse.
Thanks for any help you can give.
