Re: Some advice please

If you have electric shift you will shift gears by pushing a button - is that what you have?

Johnson has the micro switch inside the shifter. Evinrude has the push button. if it is electric, you will not have a shift lever on the starboard side of the motor.

As far as i am able to determine the 40 hp only has a mechanical shift. The electric start 50hp does has electric shift though.
