Hey guys, I had a problem with my shift interrupt switch a month or so ago on my 2000 Johnson 200. It would cut out 3 cylinders like it's supposed to when shifting, but it would keep them cut out in reverse, and I'd stall every time I docked, or have almost no power.
I disconnected it, but haven't gotten around to replacing it yet, and have been using the boat pretty regularly, since it's striped bass season. Just wondering if this could possible cause any damage to the lower unit? I am careful with it, I always let sit in neutral for a couple of seconds before going into reverse, and never shift it quickly between forward and reverse.
Just wondering if I should pull the boat and replace it, or if it's something that can wait until the bass run is over and I can do before I winterize it.
Thanks.
