    Can anyone tell me the purpose of the safety switch between the block and the starter solenoid, part number 0382548? My manual shows it but does not say anything about its purpose. It breaks continuity between ground and the solenoid, mine ohms out bad. Any info would be appreciated.

    1972 50hp OMC Lower Gear Case

    Sir, I have not pulled the lower unit, only removed the bearing housing.....your recommendation to replace the bearing above the pinion gear??? Yes I have the shaft seals but cannot find the so called screw seals, you say use sealer on the o-rings so I take it these seals are o-rings? Thanks...
