hello,
I have a 1974 slickcraft with a omc stringer 800 electric shift outdrive with 265 horse motor. The problem is i cannot shift into forward but it will let me shift into reverse. I have checked the wires that run into the lower unit with my meter and im getting 12 volts when I move the shifter to forward and reverse. I also checked ohms and I got 6.1 on either wire but I hear no click in the outdrive when i shift to forward from neutral or from neutralto reverse. Is it possibly a bad coil or spring perhaps? Does anyone know where I can get step by step instuctions to tear down the lower unit to get at the coils. thank you to everyone that could possibly help and could have some input on this because i am totally lost and have searched the internet high and low for info on this boat. thanks again
