    Boathouse Length vs Boat Length

    I know a couple of folks who just use sling straps to lift their pontoon boats. no cradle at all so as long as the boat is balanced it should be ok. as far as the back end getting rained on you probably need to use a cover. Even if you had another two feet of roof the wind still would blow rain in..

    old (unsure of year) Honda BF75 (7.5hp) outboard won't throttle in neutral or reverse

    Most likely you need to adjust the cable. as far as I know that is the only intended adjustment. The shift lever has a metal plate on it that prevents the throttle linkage from moving much unless it is in forward position. I suppose you could remove that plate or maybe mod it..

    old (unsure of year) Honda BF75 (7.5hp) outboard won't throttle in neutral or reverse

    I have one of those on a sailboat. it will not rev high in neutral or reverse. If you look at the linkage under the cowl you will see how it locks out.

    Shift Interrupter Switch Unhooked however...

    You got away with it disconnected because you have a small engine, don't try it with a v8. My boat was like that when I got it and I promptly backed it into the shallows and tore up the prop. It goes into gear easily but getting back to neutral was a bear. I would hook it back up and see how...
