Hi I?m new to the site I have a 1968 Johnson 40Hp electro shift, my problem is intermittent loss of gears, sometimes I can get 2 hours of work out of it with no issue, sometimes I loose forwards or reverse or sometimes both, sometimes it comes good and sometimes I have to get a tow. Both coils test out at 7.8 Ohms which I think is normal, the oil in the gearbox is cloudy (i.e. has water in it) I am using the type c oil, I plan on replacing the seals in the leg, but should I pull the gearbox apart could the dog clutch be the problem? The water/oil mix doesn't seem to change the resistance? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Matt
