'84 shouldn't be ... should be full mechanical. You can tell by the ID tag from the engine, the year of the drive (particularly the lower unit) and/or the look of the drive.
1962 - 1977 should be electric shift
1978 - 1980 (I think) should be hydro-mechanical (didn't last long)
1980 - 1986 should be mechanical shift
ID tag should be on your engine - typically on the starboard side, rear motor mount.
Hey Guys,
I need a prop breakdown.
I think my prop is missing something on the inside.
I had it in the water and it was not spinning, whats behind the prop?
on OMC 400
when I took off the prop these this is whats behind,
is this right?
I know I'm late to the party, but I'll add for edification purposes. You can tell if a Stringer is electric or (hydro)mechanical based on whether it's through-prop exhaust or not as well. Electrics were NOT through-prop exhaust but the mechanical variants were. If there's a cone over the center of the prop then it's electric (boogie-woogie-woogie).
