I have looked through almost every post regarding Quicksilver 3000 console and panel mount throttle controls in the forums. I haven't found anyone that has successfully taken one apart and put it back together. <br /><br />I have a 1995 SeaRay 175BR with a Mercruiser 3.0 liter/Alpha 1 drive and a panel-mount Quicksilver Commander 3000 throttle control. <br /><br />The "up" portion of my power trim button fails to raise the drive but the "down" side and "Trailer" buttons work flawlessly. I used a test light and determined that the "up" wire (I don't recall the color) is not getting power after the switch.<br /><br />I have already spent over 6 hours trying to disassemble the control box to get the throttle arm off so I can get to the switch to inspect/repair it. No matter what, I cannot get that throttle arm off the body of the control.<br /><br />Has anyone out there been successful in doing this???? I'm desperate to find the secret to disasembling the throttle arm. <br /><br />Member 495V from Plainfield, IL mentioned in a previous post possibly having a scanned diagram of the control but I haven't found it.<br /><br />BTW - a local dealer said they'll fix it for a whopping $125 - $150! but my motto is, "If someone at a dealer can do it, why can't I?"<br /><br />HELP!!
