Hello everyone,

I have recently replaced the impeller of my Mercruiser 3.0L Alpha One Gen One. After completing the replacement, I noticed that I can easily rotate the propeller by hand in both directions, even when the boat is in forward or reverse gear. This has raised some concerns for me, as I was previously informed that this should not be the case. I would greatly appreciate your input and confirmation on whether this indicates a faulty reinstallation of the lower unit of the sterndrive.

Thank you in advance for your help.
