    George, you are half right and half wrong. You are right, if it were a Hydro-Electric gearcase which defaulted to forward. But the motor in question is the original electric spring clutches unit, which defaults to neutral if no power applied. Evinrude called both systems "Selectric", but Johnson split them up as "Electramatic" and "Hydro-Electric".
