Where can I buy Tige Throttle knob and lever

[petrey10]

Well as some may know I have had a problem with my throttle assembly and have now come to the conclusion that I want a new throttle lever and the knob that is on the throttle lever that holds the TAPS switch... Is this something I can get from tige? Or is this something that I cant replace?

You can get them through your dealer. Be prepared though as last I heard they are around $700

[petrey10]

what!?!?!

[Tanner]

You have to buy the assembly, not just the lever and knob I'm pretty sure.

Maybe DOM will chime in.

give me a break.... can anything be a cheap fix!?!?! .... it might just dangle there if that's the case...

What year is the boat?

Is there not an online dealer to get parts from for our boats?

There are, but I think for the older boats like mine the throttle handle with the TAPS switch was a custom order by TIGE.
The TAPS pump is also a custom order, as are the rams.
The TAPS pump is a basically a V351 HPU from Bennett Marine that has one side eliminated.
I think a standard V351 pump will work by just plugging one side.
The rams, according to Bennett, are the same as a standard ram they sell, but custom ordered with a slightly shorter throw.
The throttle is a Morse MV-2 with the trim switch optional handle, but has been discontinued and Morse was bought by Teleflex.
A Teleflex MV-3 assembly may work.
A standard UP/DOWN trim switch can be mounted on the dash to replace the handle mounted switch.

2001 Tige 20i .... thats BS because the lever and knob could easily come seperate from the assembly

[petrey10]

I would be happy with just the knob at this point because the one I have is stripped!!!

[petrey10]

Help me out here Dom!! Or anyone else who is more knowledgeable than me which is probably everyone haha

My taps switch was relocated to the dash from the handle.

My throttle lever is stripped also, and now missing the knob. I'm thinking that I will have to tap the threads and finding a shift knob of some sort.

[petrey10]

must be a 2001 thing... I would imagine we have the same lever and knob... What a piece of **** huh?

I am in the same boat, searched last summer and never found a good replacement. If you find one let us know, I am sure there are other people with the same problem.

Not to hijack a thread, but who is the best to buy from online?
