Ok, we have an older style remote control with the trim and throttle only button on the side of the handle. My question is if somebody can tell me where I can find a pdf of this unit. There is this little pin looking thing that is held down with a spring and black stopper thing. Either way the movement from N to F or R is very tough and when I took that pin and spring out the shifter is like butter but I can start the motor in any position. Well, I found a spring kit and it looks to have the pieces I want to replace but not sure how the pin and spring or supposed to work. It looks to be when you push the throttle only button that pin should come up and put some how engage the throttle only not gears R/F. Sorry if this is very confusing but I am not really sure what the items are called I was looking at. I know that if I put those three pieces back the shifter feels bound up again and very hard to put in gear, take those three pieces out and shifter is smooth but will start in gear. Any and all questions are welcomed I will try to put a pic of the stuff I bought and maybe that will help somebody. I am not sure all this to go and a diagram would be helpful. The pin/spring/black thing I was talking about I took out is the pin in the lower left corner, long spring and the black thing is in the upper right. Took those out controls are smooth but will start in gear put back and control gets bound up and hard to put in gear. Now, it will go in gear but not sure what if any damage is happening. I also know that the button did work but has become a pain as of late and last Thursday it has stopped all together.

You may be better off looking on Ebay and getting the whole unit.

Please stop telling members to start duplicate threads. If a new thread is in the wrong section, use the Flag button and a Mod will move the thread. A duplicate thread will just get deleted.

Moved into Steering and Controls which is far better than Pontoons.

It's difficult to direct you to a parts diagram when all you show a pile of parts. How about a pic of the remote control?

Sorry for putting it in the wrong location and attached are some pictures of the controls. And the parts that we found to be the issue last night. Now, with that being said the clear barrel looking piece is what is broke and went through the handle to inside the box. I am not sure if they even make that piece or if I could just JB weld it or something. The issue now is with that piece out and unable to put back in no matter where we put the shifter F/R the motor is always in neutral now and will not go into gear.

Update, found the kit from looking at another post and got the pdf for the controls. Will update later when the part comes in and we get it back together.
