    Reverse issue

    I think it could be low drive oil, I would drain the oil and run a magnet through the oil to check for metal shavings, hope this helps.

    Stern drive rising up on its own

    I'm thinking its a short in the switch or wires leading to pump. The back and forth motion of the shift lever can cause wear in the wires and cause a short. Usually when a relay goes bad the pump won't work at all. I hope this helps.

    Smoke and burning smell from the engine bay

    I would recommend checking the oil for any water in it and if its closed cooling check water for oil. My guess is that its a blown head gasket or worse case a cracked block

    Thanks for the replies and sorry for the delay in responding. UPDATE. the purple wire has power as well as the coil, there isn't a kill switch just the ignition and it wasn't in gear but I know that's a common mistake. We think we found the problem, a bad wiring harness on the motor, its a $1300...
