    Boat Disposal

    I just gave a 27ft oday to a young fella last weekend. I didn't want the expense of a total restore, but he's 19 years old and thinks he can live on it and bring it to life. He rented a slip for 200 bucks VS the thousand he was paying for an apartment. He's got the time!

    I guess it could be, but a 33 year old cable is my guess.. there's excess slop somewhere.

    Throttle lever issues. Replace or repair

    If you're sure of the barrel adjustment then the cable itself is stretched beyond it's limit. You may be able to fudge the barrel adjustment and get it working..
