Boat motors?
Ok, so this is a bit of a silly question, but do you know anything about working on ski boat motors? I know it's different from a car, but you are the most knowledgeable in the engine repair field, and quite frankly the only person I trust to ask.
I don't have all the information, because I'm a silly woman... ;)
But I can tell you the problem- the linkage needs to be repaired (replaced?) I want to say it is underneath the motor? Not real sure on that.
Is it hard to do, I wonder? Anything you may know about it will be of great help.
No worries- I won't be the one working on it, but the boat mechanics in our area get $70 per hour, and that is WAY out of our budget, so we can't go that route.
Thank you so much for your time, and I hope I that I wasn't too vague, as I feel I was...
*By the way- Nice picture...

honestly dude. first off boats. i know nothing about. but secondly, i can say this much. if the linkage needs to be replaced you need to find out if it's the accelerator linkage or the shift linkage. then follow the linkage from the accelerator or shifter to the engine or transmission (do boats even have transmissions? i guess they do there has to be something to transmit the engine's power to the propeller) i guess just follow the lines and see where they lead, pull em up, buy replacement lines, and go from there. all an accelerator linkage really is, is a metal line that opens and closes the fuel pump relay and allows for more or less fuel to be put into the engine. replacing it yourself isn't hard, just time consuming. i don't know much about boats, but it's not a difficult job for a car. just a long one.
