Hello Everyone,
I installed the PCV kit this weekend and recognized that my throttle cable is mounted in an non traditional way. The cable loops to the front of the engine and installs on a bracket that's mounted on the front of the engine- using the engine bolt that is above the flame arrestor. The PCV kit interferes with this throttle arrangement. So frustrating because I could see the finish line!
My boat is a 1974 Pearson 30, with a tiller, and throttle lever on the port side. I see Moyer has a replacement bracket that seems to mount on the back of the engine. Does anyone have an idea why my boat has the throttle cable mounted in this way? My guess would be that a previous owner had a cable that was too long and this routing allowed him to use that cable.
My main question is would I be best off buying the Moyer bracket and a replacement throttle cable. I haven't had an opportunity to measure the distances so I don't know how long a cable I need. I probably won't be able to get back to the boat until this weekend so I was hoping someone may be able to help.
Best regards,
David
