Title: Throttle cable
Post by: oliver23jetboat on June 14, 2018, 03:46:15 PM

Does anyone have a good website that shows the proper way of installing a new throttle cable on a jet boat? Thanks!

So true, my apologies. So I went to turn on my boat last weekend and realized my throttle cable snapped.
Today I put it apart and indeed is my cable. So I guess instead of paying for labor I can do it my self. I just want to know how to dismantle it properly

Pics are golden. Haha. Well it’s definitely easy with basic tools either way but looks like the cable still mite be ok. Looks like you just need a new cable end coupling. I would try that first before pulling the trigger on a new cable. If you do go that route just take note how it’s routed and measure the length so the new one matches. You’ll find it pretty easy
