ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE A marine propulsion device comprising a lower unit including a gearcase having therein a cavity, a propeller shaft mounted in the gearcase cavity for rotation about a horizontal fore and aft axis and having an axially extended forwardly opening bore, a shift shaft located in the bore and including a rearward portion, a forward portion, and a connection between the forward and rearward portions and affording common axial movement and relative rotary movement, a shift lever supported by the lower unit for rotary movement about a horizontal axis and within and relative to a shift range and to an assemble position spaced from the shift range and including a first leg adapted to be connected to a vertically shiftable link to thereby rock the shift lever about the horizontal axis and a second leg extending in angular relation to the first leg and into the gearcase cavity, and interengaging structure on the second leg of the shift lever and on the forward portion of the shift shaft for operably engaging the shift lever with the shift shaft when the shift lever is in the assemble position and in response to forward movement of the shift shaft, for preventing rotation of the shift shaft forward portion about the fore and aft axis when the shift lever and the shift shaft are operably engaged and the shift lever is in the shift range, for preventing disassembly of the shift lever and the shift shaft when the shift lever and the shift shaft are operably engaged and the shaft lever is in the shift range, and for displacing the shift shaft in the direction of the fore and aft axis in response to rocking movement of the shift lever about the transverse horizontal axis and within the shift range when the shift lever and the shift shaft are operably engaged.
