Thank you for being direct and to the point! Your video is way more informative than the other people blowing wind and not talking parts or tools! Thanks again 👍

Thx Kristy:) Appreciate that very much:)

[@loganmason1813]

You’re such a lifesaver! I’m remodeling a 2000 Lowe 160 with a 40 horse Johnson and I just could not figure out for the life of me how to remove the throttle. This is making things much easier for myself now. Thanks again brother!!

[@darellmurray2860]

Thx Logan :) Amazing what’s not on the net already:) Lord Bless:)

[@jamesmcateer3197]

Found your video today and it is a lifesaver! Thanks for posting.

[@lowellgrasse4600]

Thanks Darrel! You saved a fishing trip for me. The plastic stop broke on my shifter and jammed so that I couldn't get into gear on the lake here in Alberta. I got the shifter apart and removed the plastic piece. Back in business!

[@darellmurray2860]

Lowell, Thanks & awesomely that You found my way to get it back In Working order :) Totally Awesome:)

[@BradM766]

Short and to the point, awesome!!! I am needing to replace the shift cable on my 1996 sunbird fish & ski and it has this merchanism for the 130hp Johnson on the rear. Thank you sir.

[@darellmurray2860]

Thx Brad I’m glad it made it Thru the internet to ya:) lol , Lord Bless

[@mikejack7117]

Perfect - unlocking the secret! The allen key is 1/8" - good tight fit (3mm is a bit wobbly and may slip) needed a fair bit of persuasion + GT85 to get it to turn, but a great result after a hot day's fiddling with the whole OMC throttle/switch mechanism. Starts (like all these small jobs) with a bit of YouTubing to sort out a stiff throttle cable and ends up - like Malcolm in the Middle - with nearly a complete engine change!

[@darellmurray2860]

Great info Mike , glad u found it & helped you:)

[@joshthomas7197]

I’ve been looking for this exact video! Thank you for posting it. It saved A LOT of time and frustration.

[@TheSagerider]

Thank you for posting your video of how to remove the control handle. I was really at a loss until I found your video. I have a 2006 75 etec with this same type of side mount control and it worked the same as the one in your video. To add my 2 cents once you get the handle off there is a cover to the rear that pops off by using a screw driver. There is a slot in the middle half way down where the screw driver blade fits to pop this cover off. It is held in place by three snap type fittings. Once you get the cover removed there are screws under it, remove these. There are three machine screws also around the central hub that hold the mechanism together. Once you remove the screws under the cove and the three machine screws the whole thing comes apart. I believe you can leave the cover in place and the screws under it if you don’t need to remove the outer base, in my case I needed to remove all of it to remove the old carpeting that the Lowe factory place over the mounting plate. I did not replace the carpet but cleaned and painted the mounting plate instead, looks better in my opinion. Thanks again for your video because without your help I was pooched. :)

[@darellmurray2860]

TheSagerider Thx Appreciate Your kind words & Appreciate Your insite on the rest of the removal for sure:) Lord Bless:)

[@ChrisNYPilot]

I would have NEVER figured that out. THANK YOU !!!

[@darellmurray2860]

ChrisNYPilot Thx it took a lot of Prayer for sure:) I was pretty flustered for weeks as I searched all over the net & ended up putting each piece I saw together to complete it:) Sad video I know cause just on the last moment I thot Maybe better get this out there & asked My Daughter to video it & never thot it would ever be seen :) Lol Thx & Lord Bless:)

[@ChrisNYPilot]

@@darellmurray2860 I don't know if you can help me with this, but for some reason my throttle does not go a full 90 forward or backward. Maybe it will go 70 degrees max. It is a very smooth operation for those 70 degrees, so I do not think the cables are bad. But clearly it is not moving forward far enough for me to get to that set screw. Any thoughts? Thanks. :-)

[@OnlythaRealness]

Thank you this literally helped 3 of us are in the boat right now haha

@@darellmurray2860 Hey dude I had to do a replacement for a repair kit for the control handle with a new tilt and trim switch for a customer . I made a complete video on how to do it. I am not very good yet but do have the video . I don't know how to edit so and I don't have a short tri pod yet for my camera . I realized there are no videos on You tube on doing this job so eventually when I can get my confidence and start editing and getting decent I can start a account and start posting tube videos. I have a customers boat I have a customers boat its a 97 Cobalt . It came with a fuel injected 502 in the late 90s he took it to Tahoe and had a Whipple Super Charger installed and it was close to $7,000 then, Anyway its sat for a long time and wont run I want to do a video on it I have been restoring it off and one for about two years. I wish I knew how to edit I want this to look good when I do the project.Your video really helped me a lot thanks again!

[@darellmurray2860]

@@madmanmechanic8847 Wow that’s quite a handful of boat & motor to restore... thing is Roger I still don’t understand the editing either, But just do it like I did & get the information out there to help folks who are searching for help:) u may need to do short ones & post as u go instead of trying to make a perfect one is my thots, u definitely have a talent for working on that rig & it’ll be way cool to see it come together:) I just use my iphone 10 & try make them short so they post easy:) Go for it :) it’s a learning process for some of us & enjoy it:) Thx

[@madmanmechanic8847]

@@darellmurray2860 Thank you so much for the words of encouragement ! That helps a lot. I just found a really nice used 11.5 tripod on ebay. Its very well made and I got a good deal on it, Infact they just shipped it. I have been scared to death about editing and have no clue why? I will take on a re seal and rebuild on a Mercruiser stern drive but scared of editing. I know weird huh? I though of the title for the Cobalt let me know what you think. BLOWN AND INJECTED 502 COMES BACK LETS BRING HER BACK FROM THE DEAD do you think that would bring some hits off of You Tube? I bought a used JVC cam corder . Its a one of the model of GZ-MG2554U it has very low hours on it barely used. It had the zoom and all kinds of functions on it I have no clue how to use , You can even push a mode to do black and white vintage shooting on it. Just amazes me how much stuff then can get into such a small corder. I bought a Go Pro a Hero 1 years ago I am not comfortable with it . I really needed the flip out screen and the zoom that is why I bought the JVC you can get these for rock bottom prices , I barely know how to use it. But hopefully I can learn more and learn how to edit .I you ever need any advice or help reach out to me. Love to give back and help people. I can get my email address to you. Thanks again for the advice and support it really helped.

How can I get to the Allen screw if the lever doesn't rotate back to 3 o'clock? I'm thinking the Neutral rod lock broke or the spring fell out. Any advice?

Sure hope you’ve gotten it apart & I amagine u got it apart by now sorry I just saw ur question:)
