Shift Interupt

[FreeBeeTony]

Was discussing the operation of the shift interupt mechanism with a friend. And we were both wondering why OB's don't have something similar being that they also use dog clutches.

Some do use them. Usually the 2 strokes run rough enough that it's not a problem. Same with the diesels, they don't have them either.

Yeah. How would interrupt "ignition" on a diesel? You could do it but a 4 cyl diesel has far more abrupt torque pulses at idle.......probably why an "interrupt is not needed

Re: Shift Interupt

Was just wondering.............the diesel makes sense so there is no ignition...........

Re: Shift Interupt

Stern drive dog clutches are 'under-cut' and need the ignition interrupted to dis-engage. Outboard dog clutches are parallel cut...
