hi raiders...., Does anyone have or had the same issue with their tiller steer set-up...? the problem I'm experiencing (intermittently) is when shifting from forward to reverse at the lowest possible RPM of the motor the throttle handle twists while the selector is being shift thus increasing the RPM..... in reverse....! similar thing will happen at low RPM shifting from forward to neutral. This is extremely annoying and not to mention quite serious when trying to retrieve on the ramp. Only think I can do to avoid the increase in RPM is to hold the throttle handle firmly with one hand whilst selecting with the other. To me it seems like the shift cable is fowling on the throttle cable within the tiller arm....? This will happen 5 - 8 times out of 10 so getting a little p'd off with it really.... I will call the dealer to have it looked but just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar problem and what caused it. Just a thought..... it it were Fly-by-Wire would not have the problem.....

thanks for you help guys. I asked the dealer about the secondary pick up.... shrugged his shoulders and said the ears were enough. i did at first duct tape this pickup but noticed it made no difference. I also asked about the optional water flush point higher up on the leg which is plugged. again the dealer says the ears are enough. internal anodes.... i can see two anodes (i think)on the mounting plate just below the ram but wasn't aware of the internal anodes.

my first time posting on a topic.... just wondering if anyone can suggest what to do about what looks like salt flakes appearing a few days after being out on the water and after a good 15min engine flush with fresh water. it looks like it seeps water after the flush which is understandable but the appearance of dry salt indicates to me that the flush is not clearing the salty water well enough. It builds up once the water seeping out eventually dries a few days later at most. The salt builds up in a few spots along the seam where the lower case meets the middle housing. i'm concerned about how much salt is really being left behind. Is this anything to be worried about? I'm fairly meticulous about cleaning and preserving the condition of my boat and this being my first ever brand new boat I thought I'd ask for your opinions or suggestions or if this is really anything to worry about. I had Saltaway hidden around the place somewhere from a previous older boat. Who knows where i've buried that in the shed. Worth a try you think? i'd have to buy some more..
