08 AR230 HO electronic or mechanical throttles.

Looking at a used PP stargazer. Need to know if my boat is a mechanical or electronic throttle.

Thanks

100% mechanical. I'll add that in almost 9 seasons I've had to replace a motor and the gps antenna. To my recollection that's about $450 worth of maintenance. Hopefully you are getting good components.

and my PP lcd display is going out after 5 years, it's only about $200. to replace, love the function of the PP disappointed it didn't last longer,

Knock on wood my display is still good. The part that sucks is that it started taking forever to get GPS lock and the PP guys said there was a battery in the GPS puck that ran down. I want to say it was $200 or more. They offered no discount or anything....just part of normal maintenance. Seems like bad design.

You sure it's mechanical? Seems the no wake buttons would indicate electronic.

100%positive. Mechanical. Cable driven

Yes, it is a bit counter-intuitive. The 210s from those MYs have APS modules (accelerator position sensor?) - so you can install RideSteady system there, but the 230s (with HO engines) - don't...
