Hello all,
New to the boards and thanks in advance for all the great information and links. I have spent hours thus far and will spend many more in the future as well.
I am the original owner of a 1996 Four Winns 190 Horizon with a Ford Cobra SX 5.0L engine and a Volvo Penta SX outdrive and I am wondering if they sell a repair manual similar to an automotive Haynes or Chilton manual. Anyone know how or if it is possible to obtain one of these?
The Problem:
I let a friend drive and he slammed the throttle from reverse to forward and I heard and felt a loud clunk. Well, the boat still runs and all except now the engine revs up before slamming into gear unless the steering is in a certain position. I found what I believe is the problem located just inside the outdrive housing on the exterior of the transom. The cable housing is "splintered" and I think it needs replacement.
If I am correct, I understand the steering and throttle are linked through a hydraulic or greased cable. I would love to see some diagrams if any exist. Also, I need some guidelines as to the process of replacement. I am mechanically inclined unless you think this is best left to a repair shop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
