Throttle issue
 

1992? original Quicksilver Throttle. It will go from neutral into forward and reverse without compressing the handle release. Engine won't turn over. Can I assume neutral locking pin is broken? and if so is it repairable?

Re: Throttle issue
 

Yes and Yes.

Thanks Mikeyt for the reply. My throttle is not the 3000. I found diagram for the throttle mechanism but not for inside the "box" housing to see how the neutral pin is configured.

Sorry, that's the only documentation they have on this site. You could always try one of the other larger boating forums such as 'iboats' and someone there may have a diagram/photo of your throttle assembly.

Were you ever able to find the part or a diagram for this issue?

I am also having the same issue but my throttle control is a side mount Volvo Penta and I am unable to find a parts diagram or part numbers related to this controller.

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks!

I have never worked on a volvo penta shifter however it looks very similar to the Merc design which I have had the "pleasure" of working on. On my Merc control I need to remove the black plastic pushbutton by prying it out with a screw driver. This will damage the pushbutton so you will need to replace it. Once out you can free up the mechanism using some WD40 and then replace the button. I had to do this a couple of times throughout the years.

When you say to pry out the black push button, I have an exterior white nylon button that passes through a hollow bolt and there is a black plastic button inside. Is that the black pushbutton you are referring to? I took it apart yesterday and stopped as it looked like there is no way to open it up to get to the black push button and what is behind it. I was thinking I would have to replace the entire controller and possibly the control cables. As I have no part numbers on anything I wouldn't know where to find the black plastic button or even a complete controller.

If you have any part numbers or a source where you got your button I would appreciate it.

Again, I was referring to a Mercruiser control. On the Mrec control, the black pushbutton has a rather long shaft that passes through a hollow bolt with a plastic barb on the end of it. It was easier for me to pry it out, breaking the plastic barb on the end and then lubricate and replace the plastic button. I do not recall where I sourced the replacement plastic button. I wonder if the Volvo Penta control is made by Morse...just a thought.
