omc shift interrupter and overdrive switch

[jonnybska]

I have a 1977 orrion open bow with a OMC 140 engine #990236e1. The wiring from the shift interrupt switch and the over drive switch have been cut. Where do these 2 microswitches connect to? Also where does the shift assembly mount on the engine? As seen in this similar set up by the white arrow i do not have that black plug.

Re: omc shift interrupter and overdrive switch

here is the wiring diagram that will help you hook up your overstroke and interrupter switch. Decided to post here for the time being while you are waiting for your manual. Let me know if i can get anything else for you.

good luck on your project

This list will tell you everything about the shift interrupter and the micro switches, What they do and how to set them.I used this when I converted to a full mechanical shift this year,READ IT, It works!
I bought a complete conversion OMC interuptern package on Ebay.
I still have the instructions on wiring it up if you need them.

By the way isn't a 1977 stringer an electric shift?
