    a pair of vice grips makes manual throttle control a lot easier! lol

    only its annoying when you have no control over the throttle and co-pilot is having "fun"...

    Haha, I'm not too wrapped up about that, plus the way I see it you weren't actually at the helm when that happened.

    I'm betting with Cadunkle on this. When I was rebuilding my boat a couple of years ago I took out the shifter assembly and noticed that the brass piece that Cadunkle broke was likely only going to last a couple of outings. I replaced mine at that time. It sounds like that could be the culprit for you too it your cable isn't moving at all.
