How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
Boat is a 1986 and has the original "concealed" sidemount control arm. * You know - *the kind which is just the throttle/shift arm ... *the choke and key switch is on the dash. * It's a little weather-beaten and I have access to a brand new unit for a good price. * How hard would it be to replace this ? * I havent looked to closely yet .... but it seems the unit would be hard to get at .... mounted behind the fiberglass liner. * Anyone ?* Thanks.

Re: How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
If there's no access, I'd cut a hole below it and when the job is complete, I'd install an inspection plate, fire ext pocket like LESTERUS did, or something else. As far as the control box replacement, that's an easy job.

take out the rod box and it is easier to reach but still not easy.

Re: How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
On another V20 I saw that they drilled a 6 or 8" hole near control, then they added a deck plate and they now have access anytime they need.

Re: How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
I'd cut a 6 to 8" *only joking CB. *Does your boat have a drink holder near the helm. *If so *remove and see if you have access. *Remember we like pictures, it makes visualizing easy. *Billy Mac *;D

Re: How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
Thanks all for the help.
Here is a photo - *not actually my boat but the set-up is exactly the same. * There is already an 8" access plate just behind the control. * *I dont see any screws on the outside that would secure the control ... and I wonder what kind of bracket might be behind the sidewall. * Wonder if whats back there can come thru the 8" hole - *or if it needs to be dragged back further to the rod box. *Obviously, I need to give this job a closer look. * But if anyone has already done this removal - * I'm all ears. *Thanks

Re: How hard to replace throttle/shift sidemount
I am not sure what holds it to the side?
But when you get it lose it will come right out were it is mounted, But after you disconect the cables. They (cables) will need to be draged out the rear.
