1977 Chapparal Sunesta 232 Throttle Control

Gentlemen,
I have a Mercuriser 3000 throttle control on my boat. The "throttle only" push button has become frozen and can not be pushed in to allow the engine to be reeved up without it being in forward or reverse gear. Any idea on how to get the button to release? If not, where could I buy a reconditioned model 3000 unit?
Than you,
Randy
 
Suggest you post that on the Mercruiser Forum. Go to the top left of this page, click on "Forum Home", scroll down to I/O and Inboard, then click on Mercruiser.
 
Its probably time to remove the box and give it an overhaul.....depending upons its condition (worn/damaged parts) if may be more cost effective to get a new control box.....and while you're at it, would be prudent to assess the health of the existing control cables.....old dragging ones will wear out a control box pretty fast....
