I have a 95 sport and it started adding throttle before it goes into reverse. It does it quite often and sometimes pretty bad. As you could imagine it is a real pain around docks or the trailer. Last weekend I dinged up the prop in shallow water , while I was on the trailer aproach I went to reverse to slow and it revved and I had to continue to reverse and it pulled shell up into the prop.
I was going to adjust at tranny but I thought that would just move the problem to the forward side.
Thanks for any help Rob

Rob,
This is a procedure that Alan (81nautique) provided.
There's a procedure to follow for properly adjusting your cables. Give these steps a try and you should be good to go.
1. Disconnect cables at trans and carb
2. At the morse control disconnect both cables and rotate the brass pin connector so there is approx 1/8" of thread showing at the cable end. Reconnect both cables to the morse.
3.At the transmission, place the transmission bracket(the one that the cable attached to) in neutral. You may have to move it back and forth to feel exactly where neutral is but it should detent in the center of travel. Once you find a firn neutral connect your trans cable.
4. Step 4 is the magic. Go back to the morse control and with the transmission engage button in, move the throttle lever to the forward engage detent. Just move it forward and it should lock into the forward position firmly, stop whne it does so. Now go to the carb, adjust the cable connector so the throttle cable smoothly attaches to the carb stud without moving the throttle. You are done.
This sequence works for me everytime with NO tweaking if you do it right.
The trick is you must have the throttle in the forward (or Reverse) detent BEFORE trying to attach the cable at the carb.
Good luck

Hey thanks Critter. I thought there was a simple procedure but I was over thinking it. I'll give it a try and report back.
