Throttle only button stuck
Friend was launching- well ATTEMPTING to launch this morning. 1998 120hp
Force with Quicksilver throttle. Boat fired up, he gave it gas, but it just sat there. Turns out the "throttle only" button won't pop out, and the motor won't go in gear. We fiddled with it, but no luck. The crowd at the ramp was split 50/50 on whether the problem was in the throttle or in the motor. Any thoughts? This guy can barely change his own oil, so I think he'll be taking it to a shop this week but I was just curious if anybody else had ideas beforehand. JR. |

My money is on the control, a few hundred bucks and you are good to go. |
