:rolleyes: Please help diagnose this problem. I have a Johnson 25HP on a boat equipped with an OMC console mounted throttle/shift control. This is a 1999 model. Recently when I shift into gear, the shifter is very stiff, the engine doesn't accelerate, and the warm-up throttle handle comes up. In other words, I can only travel at trolling speed. Any ideas?<br />Lucytania

Hi, Lucytania.<br /><br />Sounds to me like something is binding in your control box.<br /><br />I would look inside and do some lubricating.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
