Hey guys I'm a new boater and I'm having some problems.

1ST- Sometimes when the motor fires up even in the start position the throttle sticks in fast and I cann't slow it down to put it in gear.

2ND- The motor does not like to idle. Even if it has been running for 20-30 minutes if you slow it right down the motor dies. Any Ideas?

3RD- The water pump was working great. I then didn't use the boat for 3 weeks (this was the worst summer to buy a boat hahaha) then took it out fired it up, and very little water. I'm getting little spurts but not the steady stream that I should be.


If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreaiched. I'm new to the whole boating thing lol.

Thanks guys:)
