Been working out all kinks in
Been working out all kinks in my 1965 Cruisers Inc with a OMC out drive/ GMC in line 120 HP 4 cyl. and my latest hickup is that when backing out of the dock the outdrive has trouble switching from reverse to forward the first couple of tries and then forward finally locks in. The other issue is at higher rpm (3500 and above) it will switch from forward to neutral occasionally. My first thought was maybe the bushing in the prop was bad so I switched props and that had no effect on it. I did have new a new water pump insalled and I reinstalled the lower unit recently myself. I am pretty much a rookie to all this as this project is my first boat. Any thoughts out there?
