Hi all.
Hello all.
There's an old thread similar to this on here, but that guy sadly didn't receive a reply.
My throttle arm TRIM SWITCH (MERCURY 50ELPTO, 2003) is a bit ropey - the one on the cowl works fine, but the 'down' on the throttle arm works only intermittently. Also, it 'feels' a bit sloppy in action, and is not as crisp as it once was - so that's my main suspect.
I'd like to get the fellow out - except I don't know how to access to it...
Any ideas, please?
See photos: the upper section of the throttle arm has a one-piece plastic cover which I can just about partly prise up near its bottom as it goes around the arm and you can get to its ends where it meets the red 'neutral lock' lever, but I'm loath to prise it any further, and I cannot see how it can lift off the top handle part as it seems to fully cover this, all around.
Thank you.
