I got the top and bottom halves of my new 106 put together no problem. Got it dangling from a hoist, fed the input shaft into the bearing, made sure the shift shaft is forward and the intermediate shaft is lined up with the cable and the cable is engaged with the intermediate shaft and properly in the housing.
I can't get the outdrive all the way onto the bellhousing. The prop locks in place before the sterndrive is quite onto the studs, but I think it's bound up in there somehow, because I don't think it's far enough to actually have engaged the splines. I can get the outdrive about 1 inch from being in place, which is well onto the studs.
Is there a trick to getting the shaft all the way in, or is there something else I need to check?
thanks,
