I need a little help. I just purchased a 1987 Liberator 241 with a 454 and alpha one. I need to know how the throttle controls works. I see a round black button "suppose to be the trim" a switch on top of the throttle control "don't know what it is" I see the up and down buttons for the Trim Tabs but get nothing out of those. I cant get the throttle control to move forward or reverse and don't want to force it. I am looking for a owners manual but I didn't have any luck finding one yet. Can someone please help me get this going. I have been out of boating for about 15 years and just picked up this boat. looks to be in good shape and I took a test ride and it ran great. I just don't remember what the guy told me now about how it works, Boy it's hell getting old. Thanks for the help Randy |

Most throttle handles have a lever that you squeeze to release it out of neutral. On mine I wrap my fingers around the handle and squeeze upward to shift into forward or reverse. My trim is a rocker switch on the end of the throttle handle. There is also a gear release round knob down at the bottom where the entire handle pivots. Push it in to rev the engine without shifting into gear. Mine is a Volvo-Penta control but I think most all are similar. Welcome to the forums and good luck. |

The picture above is it except I do not have the trim indicators in the middle. I don't have them at all. Thanks Randy |

Took the boat out today could not get the bow to lower and could not get any speed at all. I sure could use some help on this one. Thanks Randy |

Hey Cap'n Morgan, Can you tell me what the switch's above the key switch are for one by one the guy I got this boat from changed the wiring and one switch will operate 3 different items. Plus I see no way to control the cabin lights. Thanks in advance for the help. I also found out why I couldn't get on plane. The Trim Tabs under the dash was disconnected. Maybe he was in there before I picked up the boat. I also see some kind of switch or push button on the stern on top of the deck can anyone tell me what this is for. Pushed it and nothing happen. Randy |
