Hopefully someone can lend a hand.

Took my new (to me) 280DA out for the first time today and although everyting went pretty well I did notice that the throttle levers were pretty hard to push/pull. At times it felt as if I was going to overshoot the detents on F/N/R because I needed to put so much force on the levers. I read in the Mercrusier manual where it stated that this can be adjusted but I'll be darned if I can find anyplace where it tells me how.

Does anyone know how to make this adjustment? Or, is this someting better left to marine experts?

Thank You,
Carm

I had to loosen mine as well. The instructions were in my Merc owners manual. Open the cover for the throttle and there are 2 screws. One is for tension.
