Electric Pontoon (golf cart motor and board) help
Hello everyone,
Im looking for assistance as to what throttle I would need to buy to replace the one I currently have. See pics for setup. The OEM wants $700 for a new throttle. Myself having converted a EZGO Marathon to solid state am well aware that $700 for a potentiometer is absolute theft. Pics attached for wiring, and motherboard (curtis 1204m). Any help is greatly appreciated. |

You need to figure out what throttle you have now. The 1204 can use a few. That said I think the one you have can be changed to others. I found a motorcycle type 0-5k for about $90.. They also had one made for boats..

Thanks! I’ll have to research 1204 POTs. This one has 5 or 6 wires so it seems like what you said would work.

If it has that many wires it is doing more than just a throttle.

Re: Electric Pontoon (golf cart motor and board) help
I agree. I've attached the assignment chart to the plug that connects the throttle (which includes key power and power meter) to the bus bar on the motor.
Only a few of them have to do with Forward Neutral or Reverse. I should be able to retain the non throttle related items by switching to a separate battery meter and key switch. If Im reading this 4 are related to the POT plus 1 for power which would mean a 5 wire POT is needed? |

Blue and brown are the throttle. Red powers the controller logic. I’m betting orange (reverse) and green (forward) control the reversing contactor.

Welp $680 later I had the throttle repaired by the manufacturer.
