Some of the boxes have a tension adjustment. Maybe take a peek at that fir the stiff throttle. And also, congrats on the new rig.

Looks like I need to check out the control box....

Found what looks like a set screw so I backed it off a little. The handle does move easier. The only issue, I guess, will be if the handl moves while underway. Yup, bringing the tools to tighten it if needed....

That is the friction screw, but that doesn't have any issue with shifting, it's only used to hold throttle where it's moved if you remove your hand

I personally want the throttle to back off if I take my hand off it, so I prefer less friction

I thought the throttle lever was stiff all the way through, mis read that.

It is, now it isn't.....

Just an update. After backing off the friction screw quite a bit I haven't boiled water since, I can't believe the previous owner didn't adjust it years ago. The lever is very smooth and still srays in place on its own. I didn't want to hold it for miles while underway...
We've been out in it a half dozen times. Now it's put away. But we really enjoy it and can't wait till spring...
Thanks for the help...
