Hope someone can help. I did water pump kit replacement on my 1999 115 Johnson.When I tested it would not go into forward gear it went into reverse just fine. After doing some looking around in my repair manual I noticed that the shift rod has a about a 45 degree angle. Should this angle in the rod be oriented towards the boat or back toward engine.I now have it toward engine and it goes into forward but only if I move shift lever quickly forward. I adjusted on linkage as well.Basically i just want to know the correct orientation of the shift rod and any other helpful advise.
Thanks for any help.

Hope you did`nt tighten up the shift shaft. Seen this many times. Screw shift shaft in till stops, then back it up 7 turns. The offset next to shift shaft connection hole always goes forward.

I took lower unit back off and adjusted to 7 turns.Also found a rubber grommet that the shift rod should have been routed through.It works great so far. Thanks Performance outboards and chikenfrie and gary purdy.
