Omg tried to install another outdrive panel switch assembly and just like the original it didn't work. Bottom buttton lowers the outdrive fine but the top up button and the center in and out button doesn't work. You can bypass the switch and the up and down of the outdrive works but as far as I can see the in and out center operation is a no go. Haven't fully tested the switch for contiuity a project for tomorrow. Now the real clincher is I checked the wiring at the pump and what I found gave me a few more gray hairs there is a few burned up wires with no insulation coming from the harness and elsewhere and going back behind the engine and to the outdrive. According to the manual the trim sensors at the back are also screwed up as both gages are pegged up. Oh and also the pump is leaking oil that I will also look at closer tomorrow hope it is only a loose fitting. It seems that when ever I fix something on this 1977 240sda something else pops up. Good news I do have a wiring schematic for the outdrive assembly. Some day I will get it in the water and go fishing.
