I just set up a 14 foot Alumacraft with a '70 20 hp Evinrude. The adjustment on the throttle cable at the engine end is maxed out. It won't idle and needs just a bit more pressure to take up some of the slop in the old connections.

Question - Can I put the adjuster back in the middle and go inside at the control end and get more adjustment? In other words, is there a gross adjustment inside the control?

Thanks, C.

It's the type where you pull the control lever outward and advance for fast idle.
The cable ends at the motor are the type that you rotate the plastic "hub" 90 degrees into place between two opposing "hooks". Faster would be pushing the cable aft and I don't have any adjustment travel left..
I'll try to get some pics..., C.
