    175 pro xs hot foot install

    I am going to add a hot foot to my 2019 175 pro xs. Anything special to note when installing?

    I believe I will need to take to a dealer to get the WOT set?

    I also understand I will need to pull the hand throttle cable out of the rigging tube as there is not enough room to leave disconnected and in the motor housing.

    Recommend complete removal of existing throttle cable.

    Hotfoot and throttle cable require special setup (verify critical to have idle position as far back as reasonably possible, stop screw set, adequate spring tension to return fully/consistently, and then verify that Demand is reaching 100% on the G3-2019 Computer Diagnostic System.
