Hey guys, yes the part that failed is called the gear indicator switch, 87 808009T11. The scan tool showed the boat being in neutral but was actually in gear. I will check to see if there is any room for adjustment since I had the headers off over the winter. If not, I will be ordering one on Monday so I can replace it ASAP. Thanks for all the help.

For the OP who started the thread to be clear again ------ its not the neutral safety switch - that switch is so your boat does not start in gear for a safety precaution. The same with cars - they will not start in gear because they have a neutral safety switch as well.<br /><br />Its the shift in gear switch back on the shift plate - engine side - even the 4.3 L --- V 6 - MPI using ecm 555 has those ( shift in gear switch )( for alpha outdrives. - its located on the shift plate with the shift interrupt switch. Alpha ECM 555 and up has 2 switches on the shift plate FYI <br /><br />- actually they are called shift indicator switch but many in the industry call them shift in gear switch. They both mean the EXACT SAME<br /><br />The Neutral safety switch is located area of the control box. FYI.

Hello everybody, first time on the OSO Forum. I have a 2005 382 Formula Fastech w/ 525 EFI's, 350 hrs. My problem is the port motor. When it goes above 3100-3200 rpm the alarm will beep very quickly. So for example if I bring it up to 4000 rpm, the alarm will sound, rpm drops to 3100 ish for a second and then goes right back up to the 4000 rpm . This will continue back and forth every 5 seconds or so at all rpm's above the 3100 mark. Any ideas???? it is a Smart Craft motor but I do NOT have the Smart Craft Display.
