i have a 2015 50 hp engine that i added to a 2000 crestliner 1600 angler that replaced the same engine. We still have the original control handle and cable.
I have trouble adjusting engine speed. I can advance the throttle and i i want to slow down i have to pull the handle 3/4” before it starts to slow down. Is the problem in the control cable or the engine mechanism?
Thanks
