    Unhappy Lost reverse 25 Hp Merc , 2001 yr model


    Change out the water pump on my mercury. It pumps fine and has forward and neutral no reverse.

    Had reverse before I worked on it.

    Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong ?

    Regards

    when you pulled off your lower unit you lost a washer that goes on your shift shaft , it should rest on the cotter pin on the shift shaft. if you need more help pm me your number and i can talk you through it

    Default Thanks to you guys...we got it

    It sure is nice to have an engineer for a son....told him what you said

    He dropped the foot and re-installed per your suggestions...and it works.
