[C320-list] Throttle Lever Slipping

[Sweetwater Yacht Charters]

Thanks for the heads up, Pat, since I need to fix my throttle too. I was
just out at our "free sample" shelf picking up my annual supply of Super
Grease when I realized we also have some free threadlock samples. Do
yourself a favor, folks, and check out the products and prices at your local
industrial supply distributor before you pay the marine supplier prices. For
example, we carry the 3M line. Although we are not allowed to sell thte 3M
marine product line, many 3M products are considered commercial or MRO
products. That includes things like the blue masking tape, sealants such as
5200 and 4200, abrasives, and many other products. I don't mind West Marine
getting some of my money, but if I can save big bucks I will.
