[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 416382, member: 6843"] Well,here is what I did so I didn't have to take the throttle cables out or I didn't have to pull the kill switch out for the washer to go through. I got a brilliant idea of putting a small cut in 2 of the metal washers and slid them over the kill switch wires and the throttle cables and it worked better than new,I just put a glob of grease in between all the washers and the tiller is tighter than ever,plus it eliminates that piece of crap plastic washer which is a waste imo anyways because it wears down way to fast and easy. So problem fixed with 2 metal washers replacing the one plastic washer. This is a very common issue on these mercs and I think adding two metal washers on the inside part that goes into the bushing,so now I have 3 flat washers in a row,then the wavy washer,then one more flat washer and it seems to all move and work perfectly. Saved myself $80 at the marina. [/QUOTE]
