I've sold the twin 150's and the new owner installed them on his rig (long story). He had twin evinrude 115's so he was able to use his harnesses and cables. When he shifts the port motor into forward, it goes in reverse and vice versa. The starboard motor shifts into gear but suddenly dies. The motors worked fine on my rig when i demonstrated them. Could this be a rigging/cable adjustment issue? Thanks for your help.

Howdy, OSF.<br /><br />My guess is that his 115s were both CW rotation and one of the 150s is CCW. That is a rigging problem.<br /><br />I think the problem with the starboard engine is also a rigging problem.<br /><br />Good luck, and I compliment you on looking out for your buyer. :)

Thanks JB....that seems to be the consensus around here. At least its something we can do together. He's a good person so I don't mind going that extra mile to make sure I sleep good and he enjoys those motors. I'll post the results.
