1996 Nautique Super sport....
So something strange happened suddenly today. Halfway through the day my wife claimed the boat had zero power and would not move. When i checked it out, that wasn't really the case, and i got us back to the dock.
When the throttle lever is moved forward or backward into the 'first click' position, the boat clicks into gear and idles forward like it should. Now when you go into full throttle is where the problem starts....if i push the throttle up to its usual full range of motion, nothing happens. The motor doesn't rev up the slightest bit. It gets no gas. But if i keep moving the throttle past its normal full range, the boat powers up fine. When i say I move the throttle past its normal range, it is pointing to the ground 180 degrees from neutral. The lever never moves that far.
Whats the best way to troubleshoot this? Cable? linkage at the throttle or engine? I would expect cables to either seize up or break. Could the cable be starting to fray internally? I can see this troubleshooting getting tedious on my own with having to move the lever and run around the boat trying to find the issue. I was hoping someone could narrow it down for me.
Thanks a lot
