    Help .... questions on Merc 9.8

    Question .... does anybody know what this is for? The arrow on the right points to a screw and the other points to a lever on the throttle. The throttle lever hits this screw and doesn't allow it to open all the way. If I unscrew this a little will I get more rpm's? This is on my Merc 9.8
