Hey Buckeye! Dude, your demeanor, and overall laid-back approach to DIY boat stuff is refreshing. I’m tired of listening to rich Florida dudes talk about buying stuff that I know I don’t need to buy! I think we’re on the same page here and I’ll be following you for sure.

Love the chill in the voice over. You definitely went through everything and made an effort to help those who actually need it. Just subscribed! Thanks for the info!

I have a 1993 procraft roundabout and this video helped me out tremendously to know what's going on with my shifter I haven't tackled it yet but I may give it a try thanks for the video

Alright, so this is 2 yrs later, but I def liked the music, and I need to do this same diagnosis/repair. Plus, I get to do a tilt rebuild. I am excited about both. Thanks for the guidance on this throttle or transmission info. FYI, I have a restored 88 cc pro line powered by a 97 115 yamaha.

I also experienced a problem with shifting into both reverse and forward. Make sure you also check the timing advance linkage. There's a ball and retainer at both ends. The retainer on the top side end of mine broke and slipped out of its seat, causing the linkage to hang up. The result was I couldn't shift into fwd or reverse. I was fortunate enough to notice it during diagnosis.

I like the message! Basically figure out what's going on.

This is awesome! Just picked up an 82 Gastron HPV 155. The guy says that it doesn't always go into gear so he just sold it. I am excited to diagnose and fix the issue. If you have had a similar issue, any advice is appreciated. Keep up the great work!

Keeping it simple, Great explanation 👌

Very helpful video and great background music 🎶

Right on I do believe this is what my problem is

Good blues song

nice trick good job. ya its better to do it yourself you save a lot of money. ive already changed the ground wire on mine in the inside of motor and replaced the lower beause the old one a gear must have broke, jammed metal on the inside and blew the case outward a little. after putting new lower in i need to adjust the reverse its engaging late and i think i need to make forward open up the carbs a little more i lost 5 mph and the reverse problem after putting a used new lower on. i think the prop is also missing a spacer because it can move back and forth a little too much so i have a couple things to make it work right. but almost there. i got the lower for 100 dollars so cant complain. since i needed one asap since i commercial fish.

Love the song

Another great vid! Pro tip careful with the brake cleaner on painted surfaces and plastic =)

Slick looking GT-150

Good stuff man 👊🏻👍🏻👌

Great video.

Awesome stuff man I love when things work out

I have a Mercury outboard that Enjoy fixing myself

Thanks mate I'm going to do that. This is awsome I just bought the same boat and motor

You've missed out the little metal tag that keeps that plastic part in place ..just hope it won't slip out when your using the boat

Great video, mine is stuck in forward, which is where i put it to change water pump (1st) time trying, i will try the lever arm at motor, 05 mercury 4 stroke

Excellent video and McGyver skills in repairing that throttle quadrant. So I have a problem with my 1981 140 Johnson, it was in the shop for a reseal of the gear case lower end, and now it just grinds when I pull it into the reverse position. The linkage seems to move pretty much all the way, and in fact the threads on the cable seem to be maxed out for travel, but it just doesn't quite engage. Could they have misaligned something when they put it back together? It worked before it went in the shop.

Good vid, thanks for putting in decent tunes

Good show. Was the wear on the plastic piece normal. Or a miss adjust ? You rebuilt the worn section with steel ! Nice

Happy Loon

Wot timing is most important !

Thanks bro helped alot

Another great video!

My reverse stalls when goes into reverse. Foreward runs great

Great video I’m gonna try this on my throttle control box I’m also having a issue with my outboard johnson same as yours but it’s an 85 hp ran awesome when I first got it then year or so later it lost most of it power I went from towing wife kids friends normal lake life to bird watching all it’s good for now when I try to hit it it revs up hit boggle down right after like something is holding it back any ideas to help

I’ve got a issue Similar to this, it shifts forwarded and reverse great, but the prop locks when in reverse, I’ll take off the cable and find the sweet spot in reverse where it spins free but it doesn’t line up with the throttle box

Yeeeee babbbby! Wooooooooo bansheeeboaatin 😈

great music

Nice

Oh and Banshee’s are only found in Ireland 🍀 🍻😜

I have. 1978 Baja. With the same issue. It won’t go fully into neutral or reverse. I took about the control to see if I had the same issue but I don’t it seems fine. Can’t find anything wrong with it. I then went to the motor side. It goes into gear just fine. Can anyone help me out ? Thanks

Hi do you static time your wot timing. Or test wheel. Or if you believe in the minus 4deg. Method?

I like the music

Thanks for the video. Please can you tell me the cause of the problem. I removed the battery terminal while the engine was running. The alarm on throttle controls started beeping and since then, it has not gone off. In the beginning, while I was not touching anything, when I make contact, it beeps briefly and goes out. I start the engine and don't whistle anymore. Please can you tell me the problem. Where the problem arose. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Andy do you use a transom saver on your motor so when you're pulling it down the road.

Love the hat bro.........

Bro what cable is the throttle and what is the shift?????

That music is really distracting but otherwise great job. Thanks.

What does that mean if my boat won't go into drive

Hi do u know the make/ model of this shifter.I have u same but need to swap the forward and reverse around the other way.

If you would have lifted the choke handle it wouldn’t have gotten caught up. That wasn’t your problem

I got the same engine and no matter what I do my carburetors only open halfway I just bite a pontoon boat you guys think they cables they wrong

Hay i am replacing my trim switch ! Can I see how your cable runs to the back of tje boat

New to boating and the shifter on my 1989 sea ray bowrider won't engage into whatever gear I put it into ...won't lock in position ...any ideas ?!

Your missing a little metal plate that keeps that plastic part you fixed …it’s a small plate that sits inside the groove and screwed in place ,,likely you will have more issues unless you can keep it in place ,,,,

A people somebody know where I can buy gasket for the carburetors for that engine the right gaskets because you can buy an Amazon and eBay they wrong they leak

I have the same problem bro. But that piece is not sliding down to the second hole. I really need help. Is there anyway I can contact you on fb or Instagram. I really need to show you the problem. Been watching over 10 videos n I finally found a person that can help me. Please bro 🙏
