Title: Forward Reverse Handle Came Off
Post by: bajaleo on January 18, 2014, 12:26:57 PM

Happened last trip out this past summer. Handle came off in my hand. Can anyone tell me how to repair this? Looks like it's held in from behind.

Thanks, Leo :beer:

I'd say remove the speaker and retrieve the bolt that backed out.  Shouldn't have gone far.

I believe the bolt holds the whole ball of wax together. The arm likely fell off as well... Don't put it on upside down, be tricky to drive... (Read test it before you put everything back together...).

Vise Grips for the win!!! More room in the tool box, tool at hand always, its a win win. Now where's my beer?

Thanks a bunch guys. That was it. The bolt was had backed out and was laying in there behind the speaker. The threads are a bit boogered inside the handle so I'm gonna have them looked at by my machinist buddy.

Can't wait for summer!
