I'm taking all the vynil padding off my boat. It's 28 year old, and to rotted it just come right off with one hand. The wood is complete mush. So I need to take off my throttle, remove the wood behind it, then reattach it directly to the fiberglass. So rather than playing the guessing game, I'm hoping someone can tell me for sure: Are the three circled screws, screws that hold the throttle in place? Are they the only ones or are there more I'm missing?

1008com,
I just looked it up in my manual and you are correct. Those are the only screws.
Good Luck
Bob

If they shear off do not freak out. :eek: They go all the way through the control and there might even be nuts on the back. Just be certain to replace them with stainless steel ones. ;)

Re: Removing Quicksilver

NO Wait, don;t take those three screws out.................




What they did no tell you s that those three screws hold the entire boat together. Take out those three screws, and Bye Bye boat... Now one can put is back together once those three screws have been removed....





















J/K, yeah, those are the only three. Go all the way though. Look like machine thread screws, check for nuts on the back side...

As long as no one you care about is standing outside the hull so when that side falls off........ what's the harm? :p
