I just replaced the impeller on my 1988 Mercruiser Alpha One drive,

when the handle gets to the neutrral detent position. Also, when
shifting into reverse, I need to move the handle further than the
reverse detent position.
It works fine other than this. Could it be anything more than the
cable adjustment?
We just got the boat, and it overheated when we took it out the first
time, and am not sure the problem wasn't there at that time.
Any sugestions? I am new to IO's *This boat was always trailered, and
the drive outside appearance, as well as the gears look new.
Thanks in advance.
