I changed water pump out on my 2006 Mercury 150 Optimax, Can't get foot and driveshaft to engage. Any suggest?

Unless you disassembled the %26quot;foot%26quot;, the driveshaft will still be in the gearcase. To install the gearcase, make sure both the gearcase and the shifter are in FWD. Tilt the engine up as high as it will go, slide the drive shaft up the midsection until it contacts the crankshaft. Then turn the propeller slightly to line up the splines on the driveshaft with the crankshaft.

reach up and give the flywheel a clockwise nudge to mesh the splines.
