Center Console Restoration Part 7: Remote Control

[@rustybokemeyer8528]

Thank you so much for this video! I bought a used 1985 Suzuki DT85 and it has same control box! I completely cleaned and greased all components. I purged my linkage cables, throttle and shift with my compressor and a pressure hosed clamped to cables, I put transmission fluid in hose and with compressed air, purged and flushed cables. Now smooth movement in controls and shifting. What a success! Thanks bro!

[@mechanicalangler2777]

Hell yeah, that's one of the reasons I turn the camera on when I do stuff like this!

[@Thewrightstuff777]

Really nice demo. I’ll need to reinstall that control soon in my project boat but I’ve never done it before. Watching this makes it seem less complicated.

[@mechanicalangler2777]

Thank you! Let me know if I can provide any additional help!

[@ericmitchell6123]

Exactly what I was looking for…thanks for taking the time to do this! I have a Yamaha but so very similar

Mate your an absolute Legend I've got the same controls had me stuffed I couldn't work it out until I found your video you saved me life mate thanks again for your instructions

[@mechanicalangler2777]

No problem 👍

[@cristianrivera1271]

Great video!! Saved me so much time and effort thank you very much for taking the time to show a complete and detailed video cheers!!👍👍👍

[@keithgutridge9683]

Thank you sir I had one small part wasn't sure we're it went (small metal disc thingy on the gear selector) thanks to your well explained video know were it goes now .... Keeping up the good work Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

[@tdude131]

Thank you so much for putting this video up. I have a DT 75 that I’m trying to get working. I had to remove the throttle and totally disassemble it to remove it from the console. I’ve been wondering how I would get it back together.

[@kishidabu]

Thanks so much for doing this I had taken my Yamaha 703 remote control apart and was having a bit of difficulty putting all of the bits and pieces together but the Suzuki is nearly identical! Cheers!

[@mechanicalangler2777]

Great to hear!

[@goatlandia8457]

Haha same! Great video!

[@BrianJohnson-ef8us]

Just what I needed. I'm trying to rebuild my broken remote from a spare remote using the best parts from both (it's the same as yours) but the mechanical arms are still linked and it's proving difficult to reassemble that way. Can you say how you dismantled the linkages so that you could reassemble as 9:09 ... or if the linkages are still attached, how I might reassemble from that position ... where you say " this little part goes into this hole ..."

Perfect video to help me when restoring my exact control box! Question: Would I need to take the whole box apart to see the ignition key code for a key replacement? Lost my only key....

[@Hitech82]

Nice video pal. This was exactly what I needed to see to fix mine. Thank you

[@AchikSarih]

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤pour travail❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tigna222]

Great video very good work. But I would like if you can help me how the cables are connected because you do not show this step ..

[@geicyelysantos820]

What is the name of this piece that is placed first?

[@elizabethmathieson9594]

Excellent demo - thanks...please can you tell me what the adjuster adjusts and when it should be adjusted? We took the remote unit apart as one of the rods had come away from the engine - fixed now - but we're not sure if the adjuster is in the right place or, well, if it needs adjusting....? Thanks in advance!

[@stefantwotimes]

Thanks so much man :-)

[@dandare2820]

What motorboat sizes can this console be used for? many thanks.

[@zacharykott9361]

Did u ever finish this boat?

[@tuckerdupaul4657]

Hey, it would really be nice if you could explain to me how to start the engine with it because I have one on a new boat I just bought, and I am confused about how to start it. I put the choke on, pulled up the lever on the side of the throttle, and then turned the key, and it started, but then the engine stalls. I don't know if I am starting it wrong or something like that because when I just turn the key, the engine won't start. any help would be appreciated I can't find any resources on it

[@mechanicalangler2777]

@@tuckerdupaul4657 It sounds like a fuel issue, either too little or too much. After the engine starts, take the choke off right away. If it stalls again, see if you can get it to start without the choke. If you can’t, it’s fuel delivery which could be impeded by a clogged hose or filter. I would first start on the filter and if that doesn’t work, start following the gas hoses, either from the fuel rail or tank, and work your way to the end, checking if the hoses are clear.

[@tuckerdupaul4657]

you are a god send. turns out the fuel line was clogged. i appreciate your detailed response.

[@mechanicalangler2777]

@@tuckerdupaul4657No problem, glad it was a simple fix!

[@longy509]

Hey mate i have the same remote controller that i have pulled apart and cleaned up.But now i have it all back together everything is working well except when i put it in reverse it engages but i have very limited revs and the throttle cable only slightly moves .Can you help me out with any ideas on what i have done wrong.

[@mechanicalangler2777]

@@longy509 It may be possible that you changed the linkage length accidentally, or it needs adjustment. I think there’s a way to adjust it at the remote control box, as well as on the outboard after you remove the cowling.

[@ahmedemaraa1978]

thanks man😊

[@miguelgutierrez4609]

do you know how to make it when you push forward, the boat goes forward. because mine is backwards

[@mechanicalangler2777]

Send me an email, [e-mail], I'll try to help you out

[@woden20]

Get yourself an impact screwdriver (not electric ), best tool to get them screws off.
