J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Engine Control Replacement

Harley - I don't have a picture, but I was able to repair mine. The shaft that has the transmission disengage knob and goes through the center of the control sheared off. I took it apart and was able to clean it up and spliced the two ends with threaded rod. Keep the shaft well greased to keep out water. There is an old link on the forum describing some of the potential pitfalls of taking the control apart. Check out this thread. https://j30.us/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/4464/engine_control_replacement.htm

By the way, I looked all over the web in the past for info on the original control and came up blank. Good luck! Bill
