A bit off topic but is there any adjustment to throttle sensitivity? Mine feels very touchy at little throttle and anything past 1/2-3/4 throttle really doesn't make much difference.

Yes there is, ask your dealer they have instructions how to do it.

I had the same issue with a very stiff throttle. We were not able to easily shift in or out of gear. What I found was the issue was not with the shifter itself the problem was at the transmission linkages. The boat had been in storage for 3 months so the linkage had corrosion built up on it so it was binding. All it took was some PB buster to break down the corrosion and then some grease around the linkage to prevent corrosion in the future

I just bought a 2015 A22 with the Livorsi shifter with 185 hours. It is very hard to get in gear. My old 2010 was easy. Can u tell me what PB buster is and send me a photo of where to apply it? I know that's asking a lot but I would appreciate it very much.

Mine acts the same way. I get to about 30mph and still have 1/2 throttle left. Throw it down and maybe get 38. I have really gotten use to it around docks, trailers etc but the hardest thing for me is trying to hold a speed. In my malibu's we could run the course, barefoot or wakeboard and I always held my speed point, manually but now I find using cruise control to be only way. I know that's what the cruise was designed for but with little kids and a busy lake, sometimes you have to get back to a downed rider quick which is when I don't want to use the cruise.


Huh? Do you have your cruise set very low? Or do you not have an observer and are dropping riders half a mile before noticing?

Generally speaking riders should always be picked up at idle speed. In the rare instance where you need to get to a rider more quickly (boat bearing down on them?) it's not like you are going to get the boat to 30 mph or something between your turn and the downed rider... unless you are powerturning every time?
