OP1 explained he and PAX 1 were repairing V1 and attempting to take it off the water when a throttle linkage disconnected from the throttle causing the vessel to jump forward.  OP1 explained he attempted to get the vessel out of gear several times by switching from forward to reverse but it continued to jump until he was able to cut power to the vessel. 
  PAX 1, passenger on V1, explained the situation next and confirmed the vessel suddenly jumped forward while trying to load the vessel onto the trailer. He explained OP1 began shifting back and forth in an attempt to get the vessel back under control.
