    74 stringer electric shift rebuild

    So bought a new (refurb) prop and it moved the problem from 2100 rpm to 3200 rpm. I did paint mark the prop before putting in water and the mark is askew. Possible new prop is junk also considering the different failure rpm?

    1978 trim motor issues

    Do the rams move both directions or are they stuck. Test this.. remove hoses just before rams and put a coupling to both hoses, then test if pump goes both ways. And while hoses are off check for freedom of movement.

    Way too many things he didn't execute good enough. I would not trust that setup. If done correctly it would do fine

    74 stringer electric shift rebuild

    I used type c I think. I need to check the bottle. I just need to check all the cheap issues before I throw real money at it. I thought the prop was solid without a hub but I will check that. Is it possible for the drive foward spring to slip like that with the correct fluid in it?

    That's my 5 year build. Still need to finish some trim and redo covers on cushions. But now I have to figure out why it slips at 2200 rpm first

    74 stringer electric shift rebuild

    OK I am back on this thread..... Splashed boat today and motor ran ok. No strange noises. I real issue. At about 2200 rpm drive let's loose. Back off and it works fine as long as I don't hit 2200 rpm. It has both new splined drive shafts. I need an opinion from an electric shift wizard
