Was having trouble getting my boat into forward or reverse after getting it started. The throttle seemed to not be as stiff as it was as if something inside the throttle/handle broke. I took the cover off the throttle, then took the handle off to do a bit of investigating and inside I found a small piece of plastic that looked like about a 1" piece of PVC pipe. It seemed as if it's function was to sort of hold the throttle still while it shifted into gear. After speaking with a friend about this he thought the only repair would be a whole new throttle. Just hoping to get a 2nd opinion and if I do need one, I was hoping someone could tell me which I need. I looked around on the one I have but didn't see any info for me to search. Just want to be sure I don't order the wrong one. Would appreciate any help I can get. I'm newer to boating so I'm not all that familiar with it yet.
