    I have a Sea Raider that is driving me crazy. I am getting early hits for some reason. It will give me a hit sometimes right after I hit the fire button. Like on the first lighted torpedo. Sometimes on 4th lighted torpedo and so on. The fingers are no where close to where they should be for it to give a hit. Does anyone have a good understanding of this game? If you do please help. I have the schematics but it has not helped me at all really. I will take any and all suggestions. Thanks

    I wanted to post an answer to this problem in case it can help out someone in the future.

    Finally got it figured out. It was a missing spacer insulator on one of the switches on the selector unit. The switch was grounded 
    Directly to the unit which affected all selector switches. It made it where when the control motor 0 switch closed there was a direct continuity short from the red wire that powers the ship hits to ground. So as soon as selector switch and boat lined up you would get a hit. Now it works good. Thanks for your help
