Like on just about every other Bavaria I have seen, our throttle lever seal has pretty much disintegrated now. Does anyone know if a replacement is available from Clipper or elsewhere?
Thanks,
Andy

I think Lemar do this as a spare part

Also,
Anyone know if/how to lube the Throttle inner moving plates?
Mine gets stickier every season...no help oiling it from the outside :(

Anyone knows on how to lube the plates on a Lewmar throttle lever? big mystery... the plates are so close / stiff that some friends are not able to tell if it's fwd/N/Rev at low revs.....
Checked and I'm sure it's not the cables. By the way, it's a B33 (2006) - is this normal? feels like a gas pedal from an eastern block car.....

seal as part of the overhaul kit at http://www.winchservicing.com/_Whitlock_Lewmar_Engine_Control_Fitting_Kit-47-3.html. Alternatively cut some neoprene of a suitable thickness into the correct size ring.
Re lubrication, easiest way appears to be remove instument panel (screws) remove throtle lever, undo 4 screws and nuts( carefukk with the washers) holding assembly on th the fibreglass pod and then raise the throtle gear change mechanism upwards.
As part of this you will have to remove LOTS of cable ties etc to allow sufficient slack in the cables. Probably no required is the disconection on the cables at the engine and gearbox. Access plate on some models may help a little in this.

Thanks Cat2,
Are there any adjustments to be made or just simple grease job?

Quite so, but you can make a replacement from waterproof foam - the type used for packing electronics etc - cut to shape and glued around the control shaft before replacing the handle. Works fine.
