I have a 1979 120hp merc I/O. It shifts terribly in both directions. I understand it is probably the shift cutout switch. I had it adjusted so it would activate going into forward and reverse, but it would stay activated. Is this normal or should be a temporary connect/release type switch or does it momentarily engage and then disengage internally. When it engages the engine dies, which is what I thought it should do.
Thanks for the help...
