Engine handle pulling while on plane.
If you are having problems with the handle pulling to one side while operating the engine
it is an easy fix. You may have to fine tune the offset bend in the skeg to correct this issue.
If the handle is pulling to the starboard side (right) of the boat, the skeg needs to be bent
more to the port (left) side. Use a 12” crescent wrench to perform this procedure. Test-
run the boat with the load level and no cross wind until the boat tracks straight without
pulling. Do not move the engine on the transom to try and correct handle torque!
Throttle freezing issues.
Surface Drive throttles have been found to have issues with freezing and not operating in
very cold temperatures. Moisture enters the cable by rain or condensation etc. and
freezes when the ambient temperature is below freezing.
To remedy this:
1.
Raise the handle to a vertical position.
2.
Remove the black plastic cap at the top of the throttle cable.
3.
Using a hypodermic needle, inject antifreeze down the side of the inner
throttle cable.
4.
Squeeze throttle to move the cable back and forth and work in the antifreeze.
This will prevent the cable from freezing anymore.
5.
Repeat this procedure multiple times until you can no longer inject any
antifreeze into the throttle cable.
