Since I am not there doing the actual installation on your motor, since I am not there to inspect your control system, since I am not there filling it with lube to the proper level allowing air to evacuate the hollows of the propshaft carrier, or doing the actual shift
shaft adjustments, since I have no idea if your shift linkage is binding
or if salt water has caused the cables to bind internally, Since I have no idea the condition of your control box , since I have no idea if the weld on that stainless linkage bell
crank is fractured (common problem known to 60 deg motors)...there IS NO
WARRANTY ON ANY OF MY LOWER UNITS. NONE. ZERO.

This Is Just One More Reason I Do Not Place Warranty On A
Lower Unit That I Personally Am Not Installing
