There are adjustments on both ends of the cable. When i replaced mine i had to fiddle with it a little to get it right.

Uhm, don't push so hard, it won't go any faster...
If it was original, you were overdue for a cable failure. Change the shift cable too before the boat runs somebody over. Are you implying you need WOT most every start? what are you pulling? |

When recently replacing my throttle cable because it broke, I noticed that the carb linkage hits it's travel stop before the hand lever hits it's stop. So my cable gets pulled on every time I go to WOT for a start.
Is this how other boats are set up? It seems to me I'd be better off hitting the stop at the hand lever a fraction of an inch before hitting the carb stop to ensure the max cable tension was never very high. FWIW, I have a 1984 2001 with the original carbed 351. |
