Throttle Cable Parts for '12 Carbon Pro

[kfennell]

So out of the blue my throttle cable broke the other day, like we finished one skier and then it wouldn't go for the next one, whatever.

 

I took the Throttle off the boat, and looked behind, and there is a brass piece that attaches the throttle lever to the throttle cable. It threads onto the end of the cable, then there is a threaded rod that sticks out of it and goes through the throttle lever, this piece broke.

 

It looks like a $0.15 peiece if I knew where to locate one, but the dealer is saying that I have to buy a whole new cable.

 

Any thoughts on this? I know I should have attached a picture, but its too fucking windy to get the cover off the boat, so that will have to wait.

You mean the pivot? Like this?

Yeah I think so, but I thought that little shaft was threaded, or else how does it attach to the throttle?

[ForrestGump]

Typically there's a cotter pin or c clip that retains the pivot pin through the throttle arm. Maybe you didn't break it and just lost the retainer.

Nah it broke, i saw the brass cylinder with the missing arm, I guess I just assumed that the arm was threaded from how it broke. Thanks for the help hopefully I can figure out the correct size to order now!
