Replaced the entire water pump assembly (housing, impeller, gaskets, etc). I am mechanically inclined, but I will admit this was my first time replacing a water pump on a lower unit. Replaced the water pump with relative ease, just taking time to put everything back together the exact same way I took it apart. With a little bit of persuasion was able to get the lower bolted back to the upper (never took the upper off the boat), tightened the bolts and refilled with gear lube using a pump from the bottom. Started the boat up, put it in gear and heard a louder than normal clunk when the gears engaged. I have ran the boat in gear out of water before and never has the clunk going into gear been this loud. The clunk does go away immediately and I do not hear any type of grinding or anything out of the norm at all while the prop is engaged. Is there anything that I could have done and/or missed while installing the lower to the upper? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. ]]> SE 106 Tech Support Thompson1987 http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1896-Loud-clunking-when-going-into-gear http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1895-new-to-SEI-products&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 16:19:17 GMT love the items they have good stuff what do you guys think? ill be buying from now on!!! love the items they have good stuff what do you guys think?

The lower shift cable is only about six months / 30hrs old and adjustment has been triple checked, upper cable adjustment has also been checked but found to be approximately 1/8" longer than recommended tolerance. I had to move the reverse gear adjustment stud to the mid position in order to get reverse to engage - moving it right to the end of the slot didnt seem to make any further difference to the ratcheting. Shift interrupt switch verified to kill the engine when manually activated, and roller is centered.
Gear engagement from neutral into both forward and reverse is smooth. Neutral can always be selected from reverse without problem, however the drive will only go into neutral from forward gear about 25% of the time. Pulling the control lever back past the neutral detent will get the forward gear to disengage.
When the boat is running on the muffs the drive comes out of gear easily every time, so the issue only seams to rear its head when there is water load on the prop.
Spinning the prop by hand there is a very positive ratchet on the forward gear, but a noticeable weaker ratchet in reverse gear.
The old MC1 drive that it replaced never had any shifting issues, so I'm reluctant to jump to any conclusions with regards to which component may be causing this problem. Can you offer any suggestions? I now have approximately five hours on my new drive. ]]> SE 106 Tech Support Cresco750 http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1891-Problem-Selecting-Neutral-SE106 http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1890-new-drive&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 12:58:41 GMT have been a dealer for a few years now . they have been a great drive and any issues have been resolved in a timely fashion have been a dealer for a few years now . they have been a great drive and any issues have been resolved in a timely fashion ]]> My SEI Experience howie51 http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1890-new-drive http://sterndrive.cc/vbforum/showthread.php?1889-Save-Start-of-Season&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 00:59:42 GMT Goin over boat make sure all is ready to get wet last week, ugh trim piston leaking from line threads.
