    Shifting system

    Why does my boat shift perfectly in the driveway but, in the water, no go. Now.? Reverse only and won't come without killing the engine. No forward st all.

    I didn't replace that one...nor did I change its adjustment. Just the 2 (throttle & upper shift) cables were replaced. But, I'll take a look. Thanks.

    Shifting system

    I installed a new throttle/shifting control box on my 1997 Mercrusier Alpha One with 4.0 v6. It works "perfectly" in my driveway. I put it in the water. Start the boat. From neutral, put in reverse boat travels back. Shift to neutral? Remains in reverse. Shut down. Restart, in neutral. Put in...

    LOL...So, I have time adjusted a few old school engines. No marine power plants. All old style point & rotor systems. And, it's been a while. What I've seen & found otherwise is timing this engine is quite a science. In the end, with this effort, I have not changed a thing other than the...

    Well, as I said, the quarter inch counter clockwise turn was under significant resistance and it was physical stopped from any significant change. I put it back where it was when the boat ran fine. The resistance was enough to keep the distributer in place with engine running. So, as it's back...

    Just ordered a new sensor. Every body part I can cross is crossed for luck. Arrives next week. Amazon.

    Got it. Bolt was snug but slightly loose. Since motor ran good, & distributer twist was stiff & minimal, it's back where it was running good & I can forgo timing...for now. Thanks for the support. More to come...I'm sure.

    What is ignition sensor...in the distributor? Something under the cap? Or is it the Ignition Control Module on exterior of distributor?

    Anyone have one kicking around would let it go? Question ;- how can I test the module to assure it's nonop...or not? While I wait, gonna repeat & concentrate on potential wire compromised.

    Not at all what's intended. It's just another guess re: non op. Old coil was 1997 vintage. 25 yrs old. Didn't fix it. Distributor is in original operating position. Twisting is met with resistance. It doesn't twist loosely.

    Is this a proper replacement for 392-805570-1?
