Hi, New guy here. I have an 81 Searay sedan, new to me. It would usually not start (nothing, no click, just dash lights) until you wiggled the shift lever, says the PO. Then it would start normally and run fine.
So, I took out two switches, the first because I thought it was the Neut safety switch, and the second because it really was the neut. safty. sw. (according to pictures)
Now the boat starts better, but I'm wondering :
what was the first switch I took out? It was up under the shift lever on an older Morse Marine dual console (ds twin I think they're called) , and was a thin plastic tube with two wires plugged onto it. It seems to act like a plunger when the lever is moved, so it's not contacting inside unless the shifter is in neutral.
The second one I disabled looks like the online pictures of a NSS, it was on the tranny and was supposed to push in when you were in neutral.
what you think so far? Where's the switch that shuts off the engine while you're shifting? Cornfused.. Thanks
