I have an '86 Wellcraft with OMC Cobra/4.3L powertrain.
Put it in the water and it has no reverse but jumps forward instead.
Got the boat turned around and on the lake, pushed the throttle forward and it moves like a 10hp outboard is pushing it.
The research I've done so far points to low electrical current or contact issues, possibly within the ignition system or power trim system. It's a 2 battery system with new batteries and cables.
Finally got the repair/service manual and ready to check out what the problem might be.
Question.....anyone have suggestions where to start?
