sr230 yamaha throttle shifter

[z3cta]

Good morning
Help please
Can anyone tell me if the throttle shifter should stay up on its own or constantly needs to be held up to the desired speed? Mine will not stay up and I want to know if that is normal. I own a 2003 yamaha sr230

glad to have you on board,

update your profile with your location so we know where you're boating,

How long have you owned your boat? does it have the mr1 engines or 2 stroke?

throttles slipping back is a common problem, we have it documented along with many other issues in our FAQ tab at the top of the page,
here is the link to fixing it,

I believe your throttles on the SR are the less common teleflex style levers. If you post a picture that will help us know for certain. I believe there are friction screws on the assembly either on the sides or under. Perhaps the parts diagram can help locate them.

Your throttle is similar to the ones used on SeaDoos in the late 90s.

Here's a thread on something similar
floppy/loose throttle lever friction

Yes, that ultra flex lettering is the same on the SeaDoos. I think the screws are underneath, so it needs to come out to be tightened.
