[OMC-Boats] FORWARD=GREEN; REVERSE=BLUE; Color Standards

See: http://www.ultimate.com/omc-boats/gallery/lee.shuster/68_100hp_V4.jpg

This drawing shows the correct OMC Factory color codes for the shifter
switch and shift coils, as used on products, circa 1968. 1968 is the
last year the V-4 Outboards used the same gearcase as the electric
shift sterndrives.

Someone else will need to submit a later OMC outboard schematic
showing the hydraulic-electric (thru-prop exhaust) gear case, similar
to those 78 and up Sterndrives to determine if the control logic is
compatible. I suspect they are NOT directly compatible without
modification.
