Re: [OMC-Boats] OMC HYDRO-ELECTRIC LOWER UNITS

And what was the source of your mystery switch? Just remember, PART NUMBERS, DO MATTER!
Keep at it and be safe.

WOW! this might explain why my switch is doing nothing in forward -
it's actually operating correctly! Time for another test - and
maybe I can ditch my silly "get me by for now" rigged switch.
Raining today to I guess I gotta try the prop turning test. I
didn't even bother connecting the old switch back up, just assumed if
it wasn't lighting up in forward it was a dead. This is
encouraging. Although I'm actually half way done with my attempt
at molding a new plastic piece - haha! Mainly an experiment
really, but if all goes right I might end up with a spare switch, and
an option for replacing future breaking plastic parts. We'll see.
