A freind who is a mchinist, mad this cutom colllar which got me back working again. My plastic handle was only partly broken, so there was a little meat left to re-inforce. I also now hold the stick lower to put less stress when shifting/throttling. BTW- my 2011 SP210 is for sale.

I have the same boat, and you do need someone holding the tower as you rotate the lock handles. Don’t want to rotate with all the weight/stress still applied. I have not lubed my locks, other than some WD type spray once it’s down. Good luck.

Sorry crew, I have suffered the same thing again- my handle is cracked, so I will be using what parts I can to get my control working again.

Do you have the name of the product you mentioned?

Our 2010 SP210 pulls me up easily on one ski (215 lbs).

I may have what you need. I will find the box and get you the part particulars.

My 2011 SP210 has this control, or is based on it: http://www.seastarsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mcda1-ch1700.pdf

That sounds like something stuck in the impellers to me. I have found a small twig, or a peice of plastic bottle cap, that I ran over at low speed. It gets lodged at the edge of impeller, and causes the symptom you described. I have an extra long pair of needle nose, or coat hanger with bent tip...

I keep a long stiff wire with a bend at the tip to reach in as best I can. Sometimes yoou have to from underneath, sometimes you can get it from the back. I also picked up a pair of the longest hemostats that Harbor freight had, but haven't had to use them yet.

I have had issues occasionally with finding "Neutral" that makes the ECU happy. The control doesn't lock excatly anymore, so sometimes it just takes a handle wiggle to find the sweet spot.

We have had our SP210 in a slip every year since 2012. We had a second battery installed, just to double the run time on the bilge pump. THe biggest issue with width to me is amount of potential movement from waves/wakes in your slip. My 10' slip has been no problem, but I am quite protected...

We have this occur many times, usually coming out of our "No Wake" channel. Sometimes I can kill one engine, and drive in reverse for a bit, then switch engines and repeat. Not always successful, but can work on some smaller vegitation. Worst case, see JPass's post.
