    Check Your Throttle Cables !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Triple Pipe stuck WIDE OPEN last weekend !!!!! Yes,it made the blood pump a little faster than normal.I was headed right for the shallow end of a cove(no more water) pulling over 78mph when it stuck.I was real lucky that the Novi's had enough spring to pull the butterfly's closed.Here is a pic.Might want to inspect your cables as a routine maintinance.

    good idea! we should be inspecting everything before hitting the water, its worth the extra 10 mins.
