I Recently replaced my Velvet Drive transmission. In the process I reset the linkage and tightened the Morse throttle. By tighten, I mean the mounting was loose(the screws would not hold in the fiberglass, I drilled the mounting holes out and used larger diameter stainless screws.
Now the boat won't start!
The gauges and accessories work but no response from the starter when I turn the key. I know it is the Morse unit because after over an hour of troubleshooting I discovered that wiggling the Morse lever and/or leaving the pin out sometimes lets me start it. There is obviously some kind of saftey override in there that is messed up. When I replaced the mounting screws it looked like it would be hard to remove the unit.
