1973 Evinrude 50 hp-Neutral safety switch?

Starboard side there the cables are located there the swivel arm is> Adj it so it's in the middle of the grove>

Answer 2

open the control box, find the yellow wire w/red tracer coming off keyswitch post "S", it'll lead you to the neutral safety switch.  Should be closed when the shifter is in neutral, open otherwise.
