Not familiar with that motor, but it sounds like he just didn't
properly reconnect the linkage under the cowling. Chances are
the fix is this simple.

Hi all,

My dad put a water pump in his 6hp johnson and now he has no neutral or
reverse. Does anyone know an easy way to rectify this? It was working
before he took the lower unit off. He must have done something wrong. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
