mercruiser throttle prblem
 

Isn't there a set screw in that handle on the under side?

that middle button pop it off with a screw driver. should have a screw head or bolt head right there.

I took mine apart a few year ago. It had me stumped.

elebouef......I think you are correct about the set screw on the bottom side.

I remember taking the center handle nut off.....but don't remember if it just came out. I can access the back side where the throttle is mounted.

I was having trouble with the motor trim switch and/or relays. I tried bending the metal part that makes the contact for the switch. This seemed to help but the down relay still hanges up sometimes.

Let us know tomorrow if you need more help......I can look at mine to see if I can help you.

How to fix a Mercruiser........................Take the Bimini top off boat, then put NEW boat w/outboard under it!!!! I'm kidding of course..........Good luck, I pulled my Johnson control box apart ONCE......Never again!!!

I wish I could afford a new boat with an Outboard!! Anyway, I talked to a guy today at a marina in denham(Between eden church road and petes hwy) He told me to bring it by in the morning and he would pull it apart for $25. Thats a small price to pay to relieve a headache in my opinion! Thanks for the tips guys.

How much will it cost if your watch how he takes it apart??????

the same. I told him before that I couldnt leave the boat, and I wanted to watch so that I would be able to put it back together. he didnt have a problem with it.
