    1976 OMC stringer electric control box removal

    Only reverse position sends 12v to shift wire. Fwd position is dead. I just wired up a temp 3 position toggle for shifting and all seems well. My ohm check on the drive coils are (3.6-3.8) which are a bit lower than other people have posted and what the seloc manual calls for but it seems to...

    1976 OMC stringer electric control box removal

    Awesome, thanks for the help. I got the control box loose, but I am second guessing going fwd. The control box is a marmac electric shift, PN# M-1093-D2 which uses a different shift switch than what I have on hand as a spare. Anyone know if this control box switch is serviceable? Access is...

    1976 OMC stringer electric control box removal

    I am also finding handles with same P/N listed on Ebay as a M2a Morse handle, but again no info on the control box itself or how to remove. I'll poke around with it after work. Hopefully the inner nut thing is the ticket. Will try a punch and hammer lightly to see if it turns. If anyone has...

(Not getting 12v to fwd blade wire while in fwd shift position). I removed the knob for neutral/shift cutout, then removed the snap ring thinking...

    1988 alpha 1 oil seals

    So I recently pulled and split my 1988 alpha 1 gen 1 drive to diagnose leaking gear oil and failed pressure test. Turns out the shift shaft seal on the lower is leaking, parts are on the way. The upper passed pressure test and held 15psi for 24 hrs, but while looking it over I noticed the oil...

    1988 Alpha 1 water in bellows

    Hello, I am hoping to get some thoughts on what I am seeing. I just pulled my alpha 1 due to gear oil leaking (It failed pressure test) and found a bit of cloudy water in the bellows. The u-joints appear to have just started rusting. I may have caught this early enough to prevent major damage. I...
