1993 Grand Banks Classic 42
Hello,

We have 1993 42CL and the starboard neutral switch doesn't work. Does anyone know where the switch is before I start taking things apart? And if anyone has any tips on what might be the problem I would appreciate it. Thank you
 
Bypass it. Not likely you will start in gear. More if a problem with outboards in my opinion.
 
Twin Disc 5061-A. There doesn't seem to be anything electric on the trans.
 
What brand of controls? Sometimes it’s at the shift levers. Take a look for micro switches.
 
Morse controls
 
Thanks. That will save me some searching!
 
I believe I HAVE those switches!

Patrick- I sent you a pm.
 
The micro switch is located up in the actual Morse control, both in the main helm and flybridge. Don’t short it out. Sometimes we do stupid mistakes. I unknowingly bypassed the switch. One engine wouldn’t start. I didn’t notice it was in gear. I went down below and jumped to solenoid. Whew boy! Surprise, surprise!
 
cks - I didnt get a PM, but I'll start working on it this weekend and if i need the switches I will let you know

Neutral Safety Switches for 1988 Grand Banks CL

CKS, greetings, I am Gary Sheppard from San Francisco Bay. I have a 1988 Grand Banks Classic (twin Cummins 6BT5.9-M; Twin Disc Transmissions; Morse Controls). I am looking for two neutral safety switches (mine are corroded and waiting to die) and note that you mentioned in a Trawler Forum post about a year ago that you might have some of these switches. I thought I would take a chance to see if you still might have them, or where I could locate them? Any information would be helpful. Thank you. Gary Sheppard
 
Sorry I didn’t see your post earlier. If you need the switch kit for the Morse controls, I have them.
