Will post some up over the weekend. Just got it back from the shop as well. Had the outdrives sand blasted and repainted, control arms/cylinders rebuilt, anodes replaced as well. Had crazy corrosion going on, come to find out you have to have 2" gap between bottom paint and your outdrive.

I guess WOT it would be that high, I never really run it at WOT. Too busy looking for fish

Ended up replacing the internal button mechanism, no need to change the controls. $30 dollars in parts but 3 hrs labor. Currently stripping and repainting the outdrives. I run it at WOT around 3800-4000 rarely. Usually closer to 3500 no need to stress it I guess.

Thanks! I will check it out.

Thanks for the info Gregg. I am looking to replace the Thottle Controls, but I'm having trouble figuring out whether or not I will need to update the cables as well. Any ideas as to what brands maybe good? Thanks again.

Purchased a 84 255 Amberjack last year. Boat is in good condition with twin 470s. I've refinished most of the teak and now looking to replace the gauges and throttle controls. Can anyone recommend a good place to order parts from online? :huh:
