Hello tinboats! It has been a while since I have been to the forums, good to see it still going strong!
I have a 1979 Chrysler 45 horse. Last winter I had to replace the shifting and throttle cables because the old ones corroded. After changing the cables it has never been right. I haven't messed with it much because I most often fish electric only lakes but I want to get out on the river. It will shift into forward and reverse, however, the throttle kicks in too soon and wants to rev the motor up before eventually clunking it into forward gear. Does anyone know how to adjust it properly? Do I want to "lengthen" the throttle cable while "shortening" the shifter cable via adjustments or vice versa? Any ideas before I start fiddling around would be appreciated.
