Hi, New boat(to me), new to this forum. it's a 1993 seaswirl with 4.3 omc cobra. On shifting into gear, it clunks as normal and then 2 to 5 seconds later clunks again as though it's going into gear again. After the second clunk, it performs fine. no clunks at high rpm. I've read the posts on the omc shift problems as well as stuarts page and am concerned about losing my gears. I wonder if either of the following 2 conditions could have contributed: 1)battery was dying, barely would start- could this affect the ESA? 2) The poles from the sunshade that stores in the transom had caught the shift cable from the engine to the remote and changed its path somewhat. Trying to get it repaired this week b4 leaving for a 1 week lake vacation, but all shops seem to be a month out. thanks for your help.
