Lately been having trouble getting the throttle in the sweet spot(neutral) in order to start the motor. Any suggestions?

Thanks

check the locking ring on the pump that controls the reverse gate . It may be lose and not recognizing the nuetral position

Bypass your neutral safety switch;in a prop boat there are obvious hazards to starting in gear;with a jet boat you often may want to keep some throttle on especially if you are shutting off momentarily after going over a gravel bar.

Plus 1 less electrical thing to go wrong

If you look behind your remote control there is two wires coming off the back. They are usually yellow with a red stripe. They are connected to a micro switch that closes in the neutral detent. If you simply cut the wires and hook them together with a butt connector it will allow you to start where ever you want. A definate must in a jet boat.
