With the lower unit out should I be able to turn the input shaft somewhat easily by hand?
After water pump change I am reinstalling the lower unit and it stops at about 1" from where it needs to go. If I drop it 1/4" and push up it sounds like a solid metal clunk when it stops. I have turned the input shaft very slightly one direction then the other in case the issue was splines not lining up.
The summer days are rolling by fast.
