OK, I think I do get it for the most part. Lots of yak-yak on the net about using a headlight switch, or even an ordinary SPDT toggle switch with a diode, to shift these motors. That would be easy enough to do, but has anybody figured out how to interlock the shifting with the throttle? Accidental shifting into reverse at high speed would likely not be good for the machinery or the residents of the boat. There should be some way to interlock the shifting with the existing functionality of a common mechanical shift control box, but offhand I don’t see how.
