Boat Outboard Throttle Controls are hard to shift - taking it apart and fixing it for free

- The throttle control on my boat was hard to shift. I take it apart and figure out what is wrong and make it a whole lot better. I only break one thing along the way as I am trying to figure out what to do - but that's all part of the fun!

Thanks for the support bud! Great vidya! I enjoyed 🥃
I noticed you struggling with the throttle control in one of your videos and thought, "that's not right". Glad you were able to fix the problem and glad you remembered how to put everything back together again.
Start at the motor end and disconnect the cables(easy). Then go in the direction of the stiffness.
Good stuff Wayne !
Apart from the insights into the throttle controller, that was a damn good laugh, thanks mate.
Great video, I got the same control box, and will try the same cleanup on that one. Thanks a lot.
I lived in a marina for 15 yrs.and talked to many other boaters.It is a necessary habit to shift the controls and turn the steering wheel if steering is not hydraulic at least once a month year round.Cheers from Canada
that's a good tip - but I imagine that's not counting the winter months when its covered up and covered in snow!
Year round boating and fishing here on southern tip Vancouver Island. Myself and many other boaters fish year round.Fishing is getting tougher in the past few years though.The ocean water at the marina is about 50 deg.f in the winter and the bilge stays warm.
Thanks for your video. I believe I will have to check this out as well. Mine all works, but let's say there's lot of play, if I reverse, the handle needs to go quite a bit back to engage and throttle.
Yeah mine was like that too and I had no other experience to compare it with. They can be adjusted but its tricky to not overdo it
I enjoyed your video. We're on the same level. I watched other videos that I couldn't see what he was doing or it had poor sound quality. I can even learn by your mistakes. Thank you !
Awesome! Thank you so much - it's why I do these!!
Love your videos. It’s like we are both learning how to do this stuff.
Great job Wayne. Very helpful. Also great video work. Clear video of how everything goes together. Just what I needed. 👍🏻
A good way to keep track of how things go back together is to take lots of pictures as you are taking it apart. This is where cell phones/digital cameras really shine.
100%!
Wayne you're a national treasure!
thanks
Wayne has a video on everything. GOAT boater
lol
Thank you very much.
I enjoyed watching you work on this. Fast forwarded where I felt I could and made that decision as an adult. Maybe these other people can learn from that. I hope you're rocking your boat this summer. Take care. Also, I enjoyed your humor :)
Why is your nose brown?
I have too much play in my starboard fly bridge throttle, tried the adjust ment, no help, new throttle cable still same, don't know why i have about an inch more play than in my port throttle.
Great videos. Question for you....my motor ( 2012 Mercury 20hp 4 stroke with side controls) revs high when engaging forward or reverse. In neutral runs at idle speed. Goes into forward and reverse but engages hard to jolt forward but revs high in reverse.....so strange, any thoughts?
I wonder if the cables from the controls are connected correctly or getting hung up inside.
I have a 90hp Johnson 2 stroke i dont have the manual but my gear shifter also does not work but my gear shifter is on the center console everything posed to work like it should but I just can't figure out why it won't go into gear but it will go into neutral
The three area that can be a problem are the control box, the cable and at the engine. Try disconnecting the cable at the engine and see if it all works right - if so then it's engine related.
My outbound is perfect in forward but when in reverse the rpm increases with the control going back and then she went into reverse in high rpm! And experienced person that can help please 🙏
I enjoyed your video well done. I have the problem when moving the fast idle I get no response from the engine. I have to really push it to its maximum position with a lot of strength to get a little increase in engine revs. I'm going to have to follow your method. I'll see the engine mechanism first. Hopefully I won't strip a bolt😁
These things can be challenging. If you have a helper, you can have them work the shifter while you check what's happening (or not happening) on the engine. Good luck!!!
@@WayneTheBoatGuy Towards the end of the throttle cable one piece of metal tubing was crimped into another. The previous owner tilted the engine out of the water with a side twisting motion this put pressure on the crimped joint causing the metal to dislodge and the cable to get caught on the bracket for the other cable. So replacing a cable is what I need to do I may as well do both £57 here in the UK. I could bodge it back but I will order two new 8 ft cables and do it right plus a double holed witches hat rubber with grommet and ring another £7, better than the one hole version I have the two cables running through at the moment. Then I won't have to worry. When I tilt the outboard I will detach the cables from the engine.😉
You need to spray it down with some decreased and a bottle of armor all lol cause there soposed to look and m9ve sm9othly
Thank's for showing
Thanks great channel
Hi Boat Guy, quick question, what's the difference between inboard vs outboard shifter, can I buy an outboard shifter for an inboard engine? Thanks for your help!
Apparently there are lots of little differences - like the ends of the cables, distance the cable travels, and how the electronics connect to the engine making it not easy to swap out one type for another.
Could u move the shift lever on motor back and forth without the cable ? Mine seems stuck , I spun the prop both ways
I think the linkage on the motor is probably hard to move by hand.
What's that lever do
Should I have just bought some new cables too?
After I got this sorted, I got a good look at my transom. See what I found here: th-cam.com/video/huaSczQLf0s/w-d-xo.html
You should name your boat the “Stinkbug”!!
Wayne I saw your video I wanted to know how you did that with the 2+4 to hold your tard up off your boat cause I keep ripping my tard everytime
I do have a video about building a tarp setup like this one for my other boat - th-cam.com/video/5EXSfuuSXYo/w-d-xo.html
Wayne, Thank you for the video. At the end you mention that you think the "roller" was the issue. Do you mind telling me at what point in the video you address this? Sorry, but I didn't watch the whole thing. Thank you.
I am not sure where (or if) I addressed the roller issue in the video. But as I was learning about the assembly and trying to identify potential problem areas, I noticed some of the rollers didn't move freely and I worked to free them up and re-lubricate those areas.
Just found your video you're funny, and helpful 😂
Damn i feel for ya buddy . Mine was just a little tight and I was concerned. Btw , turn your phone on silent when you're working. Tnx for the vids .
Omg I took a gear controller apart years ago. Boom cams, springs n cogs everywhere. Even the local shop couldn't get it back together, gave me it all back in a bag 😂.
New controller.....
Yeah it's a risky thing to open up!
Same thing happened when I took my Yamaha motorcycle fuel pump apart. It’s was making a dodgy noise. Took it apart and exploded springs and stuff all over the place. No replacement pumps in the country. Would have to wait a month for Amazon to arrive. Found the parts and got it together and it runs like new !
Good job! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Nice work !
Thank you. Just saved me buying a new controller.
Nice!
Was that your issue?
How did i go when you got the new bolt?
That fixed things right up!
I’ll be dipped!
lol - at least a fella gets it!
Hey Wayne I wanna recomend a channel for you, DangarMarine, he's a boat guy I think you'll like, he's allways repairing old boats and has l9ts of maitnace tips for us boat gents
Wow your cables are sticky as it gets,
Most of your linkage is stiff as well
Yeah I've seen his stuff and actually wear his shirt in some of my videos!
@13:07 waiting for him to drive the screwdriver into the family jewels.
lol
Its been 3 years, did he get his hat!!!!
lol - never did!
hihihihi thanks waynne
“Forward control”
The shifter has too many names!
never shift when the engine is not working, if you whant to shift when the engine is off, you will need someone who spins the prop for you, otherwise you could damage the shifter.
I have heard that you should never shift while the engine is off. But I have never heard why. Thanks!!
@@WayneTheBoatGuy Its because if the shifter dont line up with the gears...people try to force it a damage cables/shifter....if shifter does not go in smoothly have someone turn prop with slight pressure on shifter til it pops in
Turn the prop in neutral, not in gear. Spinning will align everything for you. Shift briskly, don't linger.
Good vid. But talks a lot without saying much ..peeps in a hurry will move on ..Needs to be more to the point but still quite helpful lov yer Victor
I hope you'll be ok, but I cringe at the thought of the bolt you tightened with much force to reduce the play. Metal contracts and expands, under heat and cooling. Torgue setting for particular bolts exist for a reason. Aluminum is a soft metal and cracking a mount while on the water can be a real pain. Good luck and welcome to the boating world.
Too much talk about his buddy and the half socket set and uncovering the boat ect. Get to the point and go
When I'm looking for a 'how to' I'm not interested in a lot of superfluous video. I don't have a lot of time, and don't go to 'how to' videos for entertainment; I want to get right to the point. This type video doesn't work for me.
Sorry that my video wasn’t what you’re looking for. There are some channels out there that specifically cater to “how to” needs.
Got enough time to write a comment like that though...
I agree. Your comedy Chanel is not my interest. I’m trying to fix my frustrating broken boat.
Loser!! His video was good 👍
@@evansatterwhite8348sell the wife, buy a new boat. I thought everyone did it this way?
More "fast forward time" next time for saving our time ; )
Yeah - hindsight!
Kkk,kk,kk,kk,k
You need a screw gun son!!!
Dear God way to much talking lol
There's these new tools called screw guns........buy one!!!!
LOL
Yeah... some of us old-timers still like to use hand tools for certain tasks so the torque doesn't break old plastic and fiberglass. Thanks for watching!!!
Karen Wiedmann it’s called a drill. You should probably stick to screwdrivers.
WHY would you answer the damned phone while making this video??
Horrible video, but I liked it cuz I'm no mechanic myself.
This is a very early video of mine. I hate it too!
Wayne you talk wayyy too much that is notnecassary
You’re not necessary, lol
Wayne the boat guy....we tune in the learn. All that other shit is distraction. Just get to the point. Nobody is here for entertainment. Just show us what you know. So disappointing.
Sorry to hear that.
Dumb comment Captain Kirk!
How much did you pay Wayne to watch his free video? If you learned something say thanks, if not keep your mouth shut.
Wayne, you’re doing a great job, keep it up! Thanks man
I cracked up about the tools in the bucket. So true when working on the boat. Always forget a tool. Thanks for the putting the time to do this.
Too much mouth..very little knowledge
To much talking
This ay be the worst how to vid on th tube
I'm guessing you haven't seen my earlier work!
Wayne Steed your grammar and diction are impeccable though!
Try and do something yourself before judging others!
@@WayneTheBoatGuy keep up the good work. These trolls have too many meatsticks in their mouths!
Are you trying to shift without pulling the release???
no, it was stiff through the whole shift range
