THROTTLE
Successful installation of the throttle cables should accomplish the
following goals:
• To have throttle cables adjusted evenly so engines start to rev
up at the same time given the same throttle (handle) position.
• That throttle always returns to idle when handle(s) are moved to idle.
• That there is minimal handle travel before engines rev up.
• That the stroke length is set to achieve wide open throttle (WOT)
engine speed without unnecessary throttle cable movement.
Procedure
1. Turn ignition on, do not start engines.
2. Navigate to Dealer Menu > Initial Setup > Shift & Throttle >
Adjust Port Throttle Actuator.
Figure 4-15.
6. Verify that the engine returns to neutral properly from both forward
and reverse gear. The propeller must freewheel in neutral. If it
doesn’t, adjust the actuator side adjustment barrels until the
neutral position is correct. (See section 4.2.2.1 for adjustment.)
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the starboard shift actuator if applicable.
8. Tighten the actuator side lock nut (see figure 4-13) for both
shift actuators. Once the final adjustments are made you will
need to apply Loctite 242 to the threads, but you will do this
after the sea trial.
9. If your engine already has start-in-gear protection you can change
the Neutral Start Protection parameter to 0. Otherwise, leave
the default value.
3. Increase the port throttle lever to the full throttle position and
verify that the throttle linkage reaches the wide open throttle
(WOT) position.
