Noticed when I took boat out the last time really had to move the throttle lever about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way forward before engine was getting good throttle. Anyone know how to adjust the throttle cable?

You indicate that the throttle functioned perfectly on previous outings. Those cables do not go out of adjustment by themselves.

The threaded trunion (adjustment knob) is clamped in at the engine. Check to see if possibly the retaining bolt came loose and the trunion popped out of its clamp.
