The threads on the end of my boat's throttle and shift control arm have gotten stripped.
Is there a simple fix that will allow the knob to be tightened onto it and removed later if/when the control assembly needs to be replaced? Thanks  |

Buck:
The threads are 3/8-24. Using a 3/8-24 die, chase the threads to clean them up. The shift knob doesn't need 300 pound-feet of torque, so go easy on the re-install. It's also possible that the threads of the shift knob are buggered up, so you may want to run a tap in the knob and clean up those threads. OR...you can be really cool and install one of these old school Hurst shift knobs (Part # 1630002):  Guess what shift knob is on MY boat? JQ

Good idea on the die, JQ. Pretty sure the threads of the shift knob are good because the original and a newly purchased wood knob fit the same.
I tried to order one like yours, but they kept sending this one...   |
