This past weekend I was headed down the river and came upon a No Wake Zone and was going to be a good law abiding citizen, specially since I left my wallet at home, and slow down and idle thru it. Pulled the throttle back and nuthin. Still wide open. Shoved it back forward and this time really jerked it back only to no avail. Throttle cable broke. There was a moment of skeered slipped thru my drawers. After some attempts at WB riggin and on the water mechanicing, I decided there was no fixin this issue on the water. I looked at it several times with a spool of line in my hand & then decided to leave well enough alone. Did manage to get her to idle. Saw alot of water with SI that I hadn't planned on seein cause she idled at 3.1 mph. Made fer a long run to catch a few fishes and get back before dark. Got me a new cable in yesterday $30.25 and put her in. Went in too well. Gotta get it on the water now and make sure it's right.
