Replaced seals immediately behind prop. Ran great one day. Next day, POP, and no forward-reverse. Per repair manual, ran electrical diagnostics - all checked out...disassembled lower unit & found almost severed reverse wire...further disassembly and repaired reverse wire. 12v gets to reverse coil when in reverse. Resistance of reverse and forward wires to ground at 5.5 ohm (4.5 to 6.5 to coil OK per manual). During tear down of upper and lower drives showed no mechanical damage. Engine starts, idles and accelerates great. Shifting to forward or reverse prop doesn't turn. Any ideas?
