[C320-list] Throttle Lever Slipping

[Richard A. Walker]

Do the below procedure to get access to the set screw on the throttle.

Mr. Walker,

The Catalina 320 is supplied with the Ritchie SP5C Compass on the pedestal.
To remove this compass you remove the two screws that hold the light cover.
These screws also hold the stainless compass housing.  Once these screws are
removed you can slide the compass housing off of the compass frame.  With
the housing off you will have access to the four bolts that mount the
compass to the pedestal.  These bolts run through the engine controls and
pedestal guard top plate as well.

Tip: Before removing the compass run two or three pieces of masking tape
from the compass ball to the pedestal.  Slit the tape at the seams with a
knife.  This will allow you to reassemble the compass with out affecting the
adjustment.

Subject: [C320-list] Throttle Lever Slipping

Hi,
We just purchased a 1997 C320.  When we picked up the boat, there was a
small shock cord wrapped around the binnacle post near the throttle lever.
Didn't pay much attention to it until we were on our way home & noticed that
the throttle slipps back on its own, causing the RPMs go down.  We surmised
that the shock cord was to hold the throttle lever in place.  Has anybody
experienced this problem and fixed it?

Thanks,
Kathleen Vance
