- Remove the old worn bushing from the linkage arm. A small flat-head screwdriver or pick may help; avoid damaging the arm.
- Clean the hole to remove debris or residue.
- Align the replacement swivel bushing and press it firmly and evenly into the hole until fully seated.
- Reconnect the throttle cable to the installed bushing and confirm that it is securely retained.
- Check the throttle lever for smooth, unrestricted movement before reconnecting the battery or starting the engine.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this bushing fits my specific engine serial number?
The applications shown are model- and year-dependent and may not cover every serial-number variation. Compare your engine model, year, stroke, shaft designation, and serial-number range with the applicable service manual or parts diagram. Also confirm that your original component uses one of the listed replacement references, such as 23-932481 or 8M0215006.
What are the signs of a failing throttle bushing?
Common signs include a loose or sloppy throttle-control feel, inconsistent throttle response, difficulty achieving full throttle, excessive linkage play, or visible cracking and deterioration of the original plastic bushing.
How often should this part be replaced?
There is no universal replacement interval for this component. Inspect throttle-linkage bushings during routine maintenance and replace them when they become brittle, cracked, worn, or excessively loose.
Is any special tool required for installation?
No special tool is typically required because the bushing is designed for a press fit. A small pick or flat-head screwdriver may help remove the old bushing. Do not force the new part in a way that could damage the linkage arm.
Is this an OEM part?
No. This listing is for an aftermarket replacement component. The listed OEM part numbers are provided only as cross-reference information for identification and fitment checking.
What is included with the purchase?
The package includes two throttle lever linkage swivel bushings. No cables, levers, tools, or other linkage hardware are included unless specifically shown in the product listing.
Safety & Important Information
- Verify the part number, model, year, stroke, shaft designation, serial-number range, and application before purchasing.
- Compare the replacement bushings with the original part and the applicable parts diagram before installation.
- This is an aftermarket replacement component, not an original OEM part.
- After installation, confirm smooth throttle movement and correct linkage operation before operating the vessel.
- Professional installation is recommended when the linkage condition or application is uncertain.
