Re: johnson ocean pro 200 problem

You didn't say what year your engine is so we're gonna have to make an assumption or two. You're obviously losing power and it sounds to me like you're losing more then one cylinder. If your engine has a shift interrupter switch and it's malfunctioning, it will kill all three cylinders on the starboard bank. The shift interrupter switch is located on the starboard side of the engine at the shift linkage arm that's located at the bottom of the intake manifold. The wires from the switch to the engine have a rubber plug connector. Unplug this and see if corrects the problem.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty
