Mercury Outboard Throttle Lever Part# 44425

thingiverse

This is a temporary replacement Lever Throttle for an outboard motor. (Mercury Part# 44425) Apparently, this part tends to break easily, resulting in no throttle control from your outboard engine. I created this as a temporary fix to get back on the water while waiting for the replacement piece I had ordered. If used for extended periods of time, I would probably add a sleeve over the screw threads to prevent wear and tear on the mating throttle linkage. To make it more durable than the original one, I used a 6mm x 35mm bolt as the post, which is stronger than printing one directly. Before inserting the screw, I tapped the hole in the print to ensure a secure fit. I printed this Lever Throttle in ABS at 90% infill and only plan on using it temporarily until I get the replacement part. So far, it has worked perfectly and will be worth keeping in the boat as an extra. It's a long shot posting this, but maybe someone else searching for a similar solution will find it useful and save their day out on the water too. If you have any questions or problems with the files or fitment of the parts, just let me know and I'll do my best to resolve them.
