08 Z1 Throttle Lever Knob

[Jetter]

My throttle lever knob has become totally loose. I am hoping it is the set screw. Problem is I can tell if there is even one in there or it fell out completely. Can someone with the similar boat vintage help me out? The knob is the aluminum one with a single phillips screw on the side and a hole for a set screw on the front near the bottom. Of course the taps button on it as well. If you could please look at yours and tell me if you can see the set screw? All I see is the hole and internal threading. Even better if anyone knows the length and thread for that screw I would be in your debt!

#10 machine screw thread. .25" to .5" long.

Same thing happened to my '08 when I had it Jetter.

If I recall, I think there was an allen key head bolt that was hard to see that I had to tighten to fix it.

Thanks Frosty. I've never found a screw in the boat so I'm going to assume (hopefully) the set screw is still in there. So hard to see - I just see the hole. I'm going to trying sticking some allen keys in there in a few hours. I'll post my results.

Yup - the set screw had just come loose. You can't see it tucked way in the hole but after sticking a couple small allen keys in there I got it to come out so I could see it then tightened it up and voila - problem solved!

Awesome Jetter, now it's ready for some surf nights at LB.
