Maybe you should first just try turning the prop by hand and have someone shift gears to get a feel to see if the gears engage correctly.
I learned this the hard way the first time I changed a water pump impeller. I did not pay attention to where the linkage connected when I took it apart and I had to make several adjustment to get it shifting correctly.

did not know this. I did crank it and if I recall it may have made a slight "kling" when I put it in gear. will have to double check this afternoon before heading to Toledo. THANKS for the heads up.
