Been in Chattanooga for 32 years. Great surrounding areas to live in and a very scenic city. Outdoor mountain activities a 20 minute drive. Boating above and below Chickamauga Dam. Large hospital and medical professional footprint with nice airport. And a growing VW plant.
Thanks all, finally found the manual on SR site. Good info Bill K and Lazy Dave. Time to do some more research with manual, also have a periodic erratic tach at low rpms. My retirement project to keep me busy during the winter, cleaning contacts and viewing schematics. A Ham also so ok with...
Thanks all. Car mechanic experience, but no boat work. Still could not find parts manual, only, listed 185 Sea sprite for 1993. Any estimate on the repair cost range for above work?? Agree not to take chances with a major component. Unrelated, but my Alpha One, with power steering, has...

Information never gets old. I find the search feature of forums is the best first step in finding answers. These forums are like a library of good stuff.
Took the throttle handle off (5/32 allen set screw) and trim and trailer up were on same wire harness, metal clip behind the trim button seemed to block removal. Was odd that jumpering the red and purple did nothing, as looks like purple is tied to trim limiter circuit. Will look at more trim...
