I am bamboozled. The prop continues to turn in forward when the control is in neutral and I verified by test light there is no current going to the green "go" wire. The control appears to be working, I had current with the control handle in forward, no current in neutral, and current to the blue wire when the control handle was in reverse.
I probably should have left this boat stay with the guy who sold it to me. It would not start initially, and he reuced the price accordingly. I have replaced the starter ( having gotten one dud starter from a parts store) and the starting solenoid apparently stuck in the "run the starter" mode this afternoon......Making for some franticoil wire grabbing and then battery terminal loosening as the starter continued to grind away.
I believe I have the starting issues under control....I will not be using discount parts houses again. However I am lost on the prop that wont stop issue.
Its a 76 cobalt 19ft open bow runabout. 351 windsor. It is most positively an electric shift stringer.
