    Control lever removal?

    I could not see if there is any kind of set screw behind that flat area. When you pull the handle button up to engine the forward or reverse lever it goes up but cannot see anything behind it. If you want to just control the throttle for starting the whole handle base at the round section pulls...

    Control lever removal?

    Well I know the boat is not that old since the title has the year on it. I do not think that the boat has ever been in salt water since the person that owned it prior to me had it for like 20 years and lives here and we aren't anywhere near salt water. It could have came off an older boat I...

    Control lever removal?

    This is the shifter and the inside area that I have on my boat. I cannot find any kind of a set screw on the shifter anywhere. I don’t know if that screw inside there comes out and if I remove it will it cause trouble trying to put it back in. Also the holes on the cover area only has one screw...

    Control lever removal?

    Thank you for this response, this is very helpful. I will take a look and see if what you mentioned is indeed how it is set up and take some pics as well. The tilt control is in the handle as well like you mentioned. I never even noticed any kind of set screw on the bottom of the handle as...

    Control lever removal?

    I have a repair manual for the boat it does not cover this repair from what I can find. Most of the information is engine work and such other topics to repair most of the mechanical components. It is for years 68-93 which covers a very broad spectrum of boats. I did take this plastic cover off...

    Control lever removal?

    My boat is an 88 Beretta which isn't manufactured anymore and I am trying to find a way to remove the throttle control lever to check the neutral safety switch and try and lube the cables so it shifts easier. I attempted to remove it about a week ago and I could not get the thing to remove. I...

    Starting issue

    I plan on taking the shifter off this weekend and working on it so I can see what it looks like behind it and try and lube the cables if I can. I will share my findings and results when done.

    Starting issue

    I know, but the ignition was giving me issues anyway. It is always loosening up inside the dashboard despite trying to keep it tight. Less then 50 bucks for both parts. Any suggestions on helping the shifter be easier to use?

    Starting issue

    I get that, but these are a cheaper alternative to what I think it was. I was thinking of changing out the ignition switch anyways.

    Starting issue

    Oh man I completely forgot about that. That did happen to me once before, but this time it stalled when I was giving it more throttle but didn't even think when I put it back in neutral that it may not have been in neutral all the way. The throttle is a little stiff so I am going to look into...

    Starting issue

    So I found the relay that is connected to the starter and checked the connections on the starter and they are clean and tight. Going to take the ground off the engine block and clean them and reconnect. I think I am going to change the ignition switch and relay since they are inexpensive to...

    Starting issue

    Ok great, thanks for the help. I will look into that. Would the relay be attached to the starter or in a separate location? I am new to the boating world and have not done much work on boats yet. Cars and Trucks are a whole different animal, at least I am more familiar anyways. When I go behind...

    Starting issue

    I hear nothing when you turn the ignition over. It's complete silence. No clunking noises or clicks. The VP is a 4 cylinder with a single carburetor that was just completely rebuilt last year. I will have to look up the serial numbers for the motor.

    Starting issue

    So to all you boat experts here. I have Beretta Super Sport 18 ft with a Volvo Penta engine. My issue is some kind of starting issue which seems to be either the ignition switch or the starter? I took the boat out today for the first time this year after having it stored all winter. Had it...

    I think I'm another story of a bad boat purchase

    Wow that is a shame this happened. One thing I never do is buy something I have not looked at that is for sure. I am sure you and your wife will not either.

    Bow stop vs bow roller

    Well mine would flip as soon as the boat came off of it so either way I wanted to replace it. The roller type is much better.
