My hydro electric shift on my 72 johnson 50hp motor wouldn't shift into neutral or reverse.
1. tested green neutral wire to neutral solenoid and it was open.
2. found severed neutral wire, previos owner had water pump replace before i bought it, guess they damaged the wire when installing the lower unit.
question:
What is the best way to fix the cut wire? Is their a better marine fix?
I want to do it right the first time and make sure it's water tight!
my solution is to cut and add a crimped butt connector to each wire one at a time and then put shrink tubing with sealant inside over the connectors, then coat with liquid electrical tape.
any better solutions out their?
