Hi all,
Throttle lever on my 2013 R-29 is extremely loose - RPMs creep underway from gravity or wave action. Neutral detent is also poorly defined, making it easy to accidentally shift from F→N→R without noticing.
Yard visit confirmed the unit is off-catalog and hybrid as it has electronic throttle hooked up but a mechanical/cable shift. Appears to be a white-labeled Teleflex/SeaStar head. Yard tried chatting with SeaStar/Dometic with no luck, I believe they also reached out to Yanmar.
Engine is Yanmar 6BY2-260. Anyone have experience replacing this control head or know a compatible replacement?
