All your commentary during this installation was on par with my commentary when I try do fix anything on my boat. Last year I had to replace the steering cable while the boat was in the water because I don’t have a truck…ended up having to drill out a hole in the transom to get the cable out. Hammering it for hours and spraying grease finally got that bitch out…that was a pain in the ass

Good job and loved the commentary. Definitely relatable. I'll replace throttle and shift next week.

This a prime example of why boats have kill switches. Never bypass them, always keep them in good working order, clip the lanyard to yourself while underway and practice using them. It could save lives some day.

Your enthusiasm and humor is fucking awesome sir. I'm fixing to get the cables replaced on my own in the near future, after I get the water pump replaced.

I feel like I was watching a video of myself working on my boat😅.

sure hope this guy has insurance :-) also too many open areas in the front that will let water in. maybe no money in the budget now but there are a number of things that should be corrected. Look at that wiring. Should definitely have an on-off batter switch.

Drilling out the cable end indicates he didn't get scared bad enough when the old cable failed. This kind of stuff is why people have a bad time on the water.

The cable end was plenty solid when drilled. The hole was very very slightly undersized. Its fine.

Hello, I have the same engine and I can't get it to idle and the choke doesn't work well! Could you upload a video of your engine configuration for reference? Greetings from Brazil

Best to use drill in reverse when drilling a hole bigger

I need a throttle control housing and can’t find anything besides the new fly by wire stuff, would you have any recommendations?

Unfortunately I do not. This was my only foray into throttle controls so far
