    The EFI seems to hold the info we are missing dealing with a NDS and SAS micro switches.

    1993 OMC 5.8 EFI and drive system conversion to Volvo Penta

    Good day Lou, I did the test you suggested. I put it in neutral and triggered the interrupter and yes the RPM drops to about 450. Then I put it in gear and triggered the interrupter and the RPM drops as above. Maybe if the two Micro switches are not in series but say parallel, the results...

    Do you know of a remote shifter that would have wires and fit to suit my 175496 30 JR

    Thanks for your detailed explanations. I will complete the test as you’ve suggested. At this point, I would be suspicious of the remote control device as it is original. My RPM is about 625 maybe 650. It does shift but I think it could be easier. Will report back thank you.

    So glad to see you are on line and thanks for your input once again. Yes I do have a OMC manual but it’s for the MED & MEF (4 bbl ?). I’d like to update to my boat motor which is 58FAPRJVN. This is Mar 1993 with EFI 5.8 and ESA. Do you know the OMC manual that is exactly for this motor and...

    Lou, Good evening— can you tell me if you received the above post? We talked last in 2022. Above is a follow up on new work you recommended.

    1993 OMC 5.8 EFI and drive system conversion to Volvo Penta

    I did take your advice in your last thread, where you talked about going to TCI electronics submarines in Toronto. The drive has been rebuilt for the lower half. Generally, there was very little wrong with the drive although we did replace the clutch dog and machine the inside of the Ford and...

    Your input is excellent and very accurate . Thank you. My main problem occurs when docking the shift will not move from forward to reverse without significant pulling. Similarity when I go from reverse to forward it is a restrictive motion. Do cables stretch that much and in some 3 year time...

    So glad to find a subject matter expert! Your details are great and very helpful. I have assumed the shift difficulty was due to set up of interrupter switches? This is usually where I check the cable lengths etc. Would I be better to consider the lower drive -- it seems you can buy a new or...

    1993 OMC 5.8 EFI and drive system conversion to Volvo Penta

    I have owned this boat and OMC motor drive system since new. The model is 58FAVRJVN serial T01255989. I find it more difficult to adjust the interrupters and cables to retain easy shift changes. I am considering information from https://www.marinepartsexpress.com/PDF/volvo/SX_Cobra.pdf. This...
