Maybe the springs in your linkage at the motor? Have you checked the entire linkage system from controls to motor?

I checked all of the springs and linkage-found nothing. I have checked everything I know to check and cannot find the problem-:mad: I changed out the throttle cables a while back with some aftermarket ones, but I've run the boat since then and had no problems-not even sure if that's related or not-cables seem to be working fine. open to any other suggestions-maybe a video of the motor???
