I have a brand new boat/merc 4-stroke motor. I live in Washington State, but bought the whole set-up in Arkansas...I know, several people have mentioned how tough it might be to get any service...<br /><br />The fast idle lever worked the first time I put it in the water, but hasn't worked the next 5 times. I'm afraid when it gets cold, my motor won't start and I'll be hunting ducks from the parking lot!<br /><br />The lever "appears" to move the cable under the hood?<br /><br />I realize all this is under warranty, but the closest dealer is 40 miles away, and according to him "they're booked for a couple of weeks".<br /><br />Any ideas would be appreciated. Also, when you talk to me about motors, it helps to use crayons, as I'm not real sharp in the mechanic area...<br /><br />Thanks!
I'd really like finding a someone I could rely on, especially when I'm such a motor dork!<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />(I'm still working on the aluminum plate problem!)
