Port Throttle Solution
Does your port throttle drop back when you remove your hand. Here is the fix….and it
costs nothing!Email me with any questions:
Step 1
• Remove the plastic covering on the throttles.– Remove plastic cap in rear of throttles, yes it is
directional. It should have an up arrow on it.– Remove two Phillips head screws. The other two
screws are you tension adjustments on the throttles.
Step 2
• Remove the plastic housing.
• Remove four perimeter screws holding the throttles to the mount.
Step 3
• Gently lift throttles, pull them towards the stern of the boat. There will be six cables attached to the bottom.
Step 4
• Remove two screws and one bolt/nut. The two screws oppose each other at the base of the handles (one on each side) and the bolt/nut are at the bottom of the assembly.
Step 5
• The throttles can now, if not already be split into their respective halves.
Step 6
• Remove the two Phillips head screws at the base of the plastic plate.
Step 7• Remove the plate.• Remove the “C” ring to the
throttle cable (Gold).• Lift in the middle of the metal
tube until the assembly is removed.
• Remove small plastic block between cables. Don’t lose this!
• Repeat the process for the cable (silver) that controls the troll or first stop on your throttle.
• When you remove this cable you will need to put the throttle in full reverse.
Step 8
• Unclip the neutral sensor switch.
• There are two so don’t undo them both.
Step 9
• Remove the four Phillips head screws holding on the plastic cover.
• Remove the plastic cover and the snap ring on the cast metal slide.
Step 10
• Remove metal slide.• Loosen the tension
adjustment for the handle. (I forgot to take the picture when I was working, so you will see the metal slide still installed. This is the adjustment screw.)
Step 11• Lift the throttle arm
and remove the tension assembly by rotating the tail (part in the forked bracket) upwards.
• In the picture you can see the throttle arm is removed but the tension assembly is still installed.
