tb4me Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 Ok so I was out all day yesterday on the water. Pull to the dock to drop off the kid and dog. I started the motor and drove off..Get to the boat launch to run it up on the trailer and she wont slow down! Push it into neutral and damn near blow the engine. Quickly shut it off and open engine cover. Throttle wont return to idle on its own..It will go, just not return.Broken throttle cable in the plastic housing at the motor .Needless to say that was fun getting it on the trailer. Anyhow normally id just drop it off to get it fixed..With Walleye closing soon on the Trent River I cant afford the down time. Can anyone help me figure out what throttle cable I need? I measured 12 feet. The motor is a Johnson 70 HP serial and model #s are as follows Ser# is C 8226263 mod# is cj70tlcca Are these cables fairly generic? Or are they very specific? Any help would be absolutely wonderful!
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 Cables are most likely not generic. You will need to see an OMC dealer in order to get a replacement most likely. 1
tb4me Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Posted October 15, 2019 Would love a part # so i can order it on Amazon maybe...Having one heck of a time finding that info out..

tb4me Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks folks. I think i have it figured out. It sucks having the boat 3 hours from my driveway
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 This one look familiar? https://www.wholesalemarine.com/tfxtreme-control-cable-for-johnson-evinrude-omc-1979-newer/ And on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Teleflex-CC20512-12-Feet-Marine-Control/dp/B0000AXTAC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=CC20512&psc=1&qid=1571168813&sr=8-2
floater Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 Part number of cable is usually stamped on the black plastic part or painted on the black sleeve.

Yeah I just learned that today now that im 3.5 hrs from my boat...lol . Sure would have made things much easier
Old Ironmaker Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 Why did it break in the 1st place? I'd like to know that before I broke another one. Not a common breakdown in my experience. It will be tough to get someone to do it for you at this time of the year anyway. Try iboats.com for a new part. They will have it I'm positive. Good luck and get back out there.

Good luck and get back out there. I think it snapped from wear n tear..Its a 1988 motor and likely orignal cables. I managed to find a cable at my local dealer here in Haggersville for 65 bucks.. Ill go grab it this week Edited October 16, 2019 by tb4me My horrible spelling lol
