"I have a 2000 Glastron GX185
"I have a 2000 Glastron GX185 with a Volvo 4.3 engine. My throttle assembly has the power tilt switch on the handle. I have been having intermittent trouble with trimming the outdrive down, up always works. I will hear the switch "click" to go down but I get nothing. As I say it is intermittent, so I have not been able to identify any common factors or conditions. I tried to take the throttle assembly off to check out the switch but was not able to figure out how to get at the two scews holding the cover for the throttle handle together that are up against the side of the boat. I assume there is a way to get the actual throttle lever off but I can't figure it out. My goal would be to try the easy fix and change the switch. Does anyone know how to get the throttle lever far enough away from the side of the boat to get at the screws holding the casing on?"
