I’m working on the exact same type of throttle trying to replace it with a new one. You just gave me a great idea for how to fix a problem I was running into. Will update it it works 🤞🏾
Awesome! Thanks for watching!😊
Nobody will beat that intro to your videos. 😁 Ever!!!👍🐐
❤Thank you so much!!!! Hope you have a great summer and thank you for watching!❤👍👍👍👍👍😊
@@WhitehouseFarmVet .Found bad bearings while replacing water pump on my mercruiser alpha one. 😞 Wife will kill me if i don't stop spending money .🤭
Oh man that stinks!!! If you have room try to find a cheap parts boat it will save you money In the long term if you can, or explain to her that once it's all done it will be everyday on the water with no worries lol. Good luck to you!👍😊
@@WhitehouseFarmVet 👍😁🚤
Great video man - FYI that lower setscrew is actually a 5/32” allen, but 4mm is basically equivalent...
Awesome! Thanks good to know and thank you for watching!👍😊
Very kind brother... I gotta replace everything because I hit a wing dam underwater and now cables shifter everything out of adjustment... im screwed but your vid rox! Thanks man!!!
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you can get everything back to normal! Thank you and thank you for watching!👍
Thanks for putting this video out there. I couldn't figure it out. Although my throttle handle was different I got the idea. Thanks again.
That's awesome I'm glad it helped and thank you for watching!👍😊
I just purchased an older boat with this same control lever. It has alot of play in it and the previous owner said the tried tightening up the set screw at the bottom but after tightening it he was unable to shift to reverse, so he left it loose. I haven't put the boat in the water but after hearing that it's making me nervous. Is there a reason why tightening the set screw would prevent it from shifting?
You could try to adjust the cables or make sure the cables are not hung up on something!!!! but the cables are probably stretched/seized or broken, I would take the old cables off and put new ones on especially with older boats! Let me know what you find out or decide to do! Good luck!
@@WhitehouseFarmVet I mean the boat shifts and throttles up fine. I just don't understand why tightening the Allen key bolt on the bottom.
It's not set all the way into the throttle body gears or whatever you call it. There are 2 sets of knuckles, and it is only catching the front part.
Thanks for the vid. Helped me a lot! After replacing my cable and getting everything back together, I don't have to squeeze the handle to get the lever to go into forward or reverse. The part where you put the lever back in the boat is missing. Do you know if there is a certain way the cables have to be set or if- the orientation of the o-ring with the notches is situated a certain way? It was locked in neutral prior to replacing the shift cable. Anything I'm missing? TY
On the backside of the metal washer looking thing which controls the forward/reverse there are metal tabs that need to be aligned at roughly the 9 and 3 o'clock position if that's not on correctly it won't work properly you can see it in the video and I try to explain it! Hope this helps good luck and thanks for watching!
Just what I needed. Thanks! What does the Trailer button on these do? Mine doesn't have that.
Awesome thanks! The trailer button does just like what it says it's for raising and lowering the sterndrive when getting on or off the trailer, thanks for watching!!👍😊
I have a 1977 crusader with same controls. My throttle only button won’t press in or come out. Have you had any issues? Do you sell spare parts by chance?
No unfortunately I don't have any spare parts! Have you taking it apart yet might just need some grease hopefully nothing broke!!!! Thank you for watching!
I seen a link you put up for lever but its different then the one your working on. Do they still sell those I'm looking for one for my 89 seyrey
Unfortunately I have not been able to find any other than off old used boats, this is supposed to be the upgrade for the older ones, but I have yet to install one because the ones on my boats thankfully have been good!!!!! Luckily it's on Amazon so if you can't hook it up or run into issues you can return it! Other than that I would try ebay they might have something in working order but obviously older and used! Good luck and thank you for watching! Keep me posted if you do hook up the new one!👍
Big Help would have never found the allen Nut, lol...
Awesome, I'm glad it helped! Thank you for watching!👍
I have this same throttle. what makes the pin go back into the lock at neutral? Mine will not lock back in, seems like its missing a spring
never mind looking at your vid i froze it at 5:23 and could see my trigger had an ear broken off. Thanks for sharing your work.
@davidwood4145 awesome!! I'm glad it helped! Have a great summer and thank you for watching!😊
I watched the throttle disassembly video but the I needed to see how you reassembled the handle section with the round metal ring your video seemed to skip that step. Do you have a video showing that step also how to ensure the neutral position is at 12:00 when reassembling? I have an old Quicksilver 1987 throttle shifter. Thanks for your videos!
If you watch the disassembly you can see the position of the metal washer the slot Mark's or 2 cut outs are positioned roughly 9 and 3 where on the backside are tabs that fit into holes on the base to put it in the right position, basically when you depress the handle to get it out of the locked position which is those 2 cut out Mark's it rotates from neutral to forward or reverse, it's kind of tough to explain without showing but if you watch the disassembly it goes back on the same way you took it off!
@@WhitehouseFarmVet thank very much for responded I will rewatch the video and thank you for telling about the slot positions
Yeah I wish I could show you it tough to explain in a text but good luck and thank you for watching!👍😊
Very help, thank a lot
Awesome! Thank you and thanks for watching!👍
the disc you took out at 7:40 was wrong in my boat. how exactly should that piece be put back? there is a little dimple stamped in it. should that be at 12 o'clock? I tried it like that but when I shift from forward to reverse, it doesn't stop at neutral. and when I put it all the way into reverse it locks into reverse. then I have to push the button when I take it out of reverse...does this sound right? sorry for the long comment!
The piece your talking about should have 2 dimples that protrude from the backside you should begin in the 12 o'clock position with shifter and those dimples should be roughly in the 11 and 5 o'clock position roughly you might be at 1 and 8 o'clock roughly reversed check for 2 dimples!! they fit in the slots you might have it upside down try turning it and make sure it fits together very easily dont force anything! It should go back together easily! Let me know how you make out! Thank you for watching!
@@WhitehouseFarmVet Ok thanks, I know about the dimples, but they can fit in an array of holes! but you answered me with the location. I'll try it in a couple hours and let you know how it worked! thanks alot for the speedy reply!
I got it! thanks!
Awesome! You got it!👍😊
All right!!!!! Good job ! Hopefully you have a great summer on the water and thanks again for watching!👍😊
I'm missing that Alan set screw you took out of the bottom. My entire shifter has tons of slop/play do you think that screw would be the reason why? It kind of shakes side to side, seems like the internal parts are good, so I think its just the handle?
Yes that would definitely cause it to slop around, you can probably get one from ace hardware, true value, lowes ,homedepot, Amazon etc shouldn't cost much! Thank you for watching and good luck!👍
@@WhitehouseFarmVet i know u said a 4mm on the alan size, any idea what the actual screw size might be? Thanks for the fast response!
Length??? Or circumference??
@@WhitehouseFarmVet yes the length, and fine or course threads and diameter. I was trying taps to figure it out seemed about 7mm x 1.00 or 8mm x1.25 may just have to pickup a bunch diff sizes to try i never could get a exact fit with what I had
I found that mine wasn't set right. It needed to be set in deeper, and that's why I am here. That's what I do. I adjusted the cables and reset it.
Is there any other lever that are compatible with this
There are Compatible ones on Amazon but you would definitely need to measure out how long your shifting cables are to get the proper one and also the throttle controller itself for trim and trailer and any other functions your throttle has!!! I will try and do some research and get something that's close to what these kind are!! Thanks for watching!
My throttle control neutral setting is not at 12 oclock....mine is actually set at 2 o'clock. I got it like this. But I'd like to fix it. When you took yours apart did it seem like it had to go back a certain way? Or can i just rotate the throttle to the correct 12 o clock setting? Thanks
What manufacturer throttle is it quicksilver, merc, aftermarket etc?
@@WhitehouseFarmVet quicksilver
Yes you can adjust it into the 12 position! Thank you for watching!👍
@@WhitehouseFarmVet great thanks!
I need a control like that for a cheetah 166. Mine has a trailer button and a trim button facing you as you look at the throttle. Mine broke while out on water. Had to get the paddle out.
Oh man that sucks what broke on it?
@@WhitehouseFarmVet the part that holds the cable in the assembly
Can you send me a picture to my email Whitehousefarmvet@gmail.com I might be able to help you out if it's the same with my parts boat!👍
Slow video
Yeah definitely not the most exciting but if this is something your working on I know alot of people that need the details!
