but check out pg 44 ... it shows the tilt/trim switch coming out of the bottom of the throttle box ... see #7 on the schematic pic. If it comes out that way, maybe you don't have to take the throttle handle apart. It may just be that you need to unscrew a cover panel underneath, and pull the switch assembly out.
Have you already purchased a replacement ... or are you waiting to get the old one out, to get the "numbers" off of it ??

This could be a help. It explains what some of the stuff is which is definately a help. There are two screws in the handle that can come out. They probably need to come out to get in the handle to pull out the switch. The problem is that to get to those screws it appears tat I have to pull the whole control has to come off the boat. I am guessing that once it is off the boat there must be a ay from inside to pull the entire handle from the control. It would have been so simple for the screws to be put in a place where you could get to them but I am guessing they do it this way so it is not easy, hince you take it to a shop to be done.
I have not purchased one yet. I was waiting to see if I could get the switch out first. Now that I can tell possibly what all the wires are I might just purchase the trim switch to mount on the steering wheel andbe done with it. There are so many wires around there that I was not 100% positive which was which.
Looks like a perfect day to be on the water today. The boat is screaming to be backed into a lake.

Figured it out. Had to pull out tons of screws and pull stuff apart that made me nervous as all get out but I found the problem. Once I got to the switch I found that during the original installation of the switch, the screw that holds it in place was installed striped out which made the switch a little loose. Over time and use, it continued to get loose. The switch itself works perfectly, but the part that held the switch in place eventually broke off. This made it appear not to work because as I pushed it in, it wasn't going in enough to make contact. So, I hace ordered the new throttle cover for $15 and it should be in in two weeks. This is one happy guy. A project that had me nervous was easy once my brother in law looked at it and told me to stop being a chicken and start pulling stuff apart.
