1988 SeaRay Seville Throttle

[lengroeneweg]

I have a 1988 Sea Ray Seville outboard and when I touch the throttle my trim automatically starts to lift. Any ideas why this is happening are welcome. Does anyone perhaps know where I can just get a replacement throttle?

The switch in the handle is probably getting stuck, had to replace mine a few years ago for same thing

Maybe the insulation on the PTT wires is worn away. If it is the same throttle that I had on my'88 SeaRay, there are two screws that hold a cover plate over the wires. I would remove it and see what is rubbing.
