Boat is a 96 Harris FlotDek with a 5.0L Ford/Volvo OD. New throttle control cable.
The problem I have is that we like to cruise at a slow, constant speed, on plane without plowing the water behind us.
I can get it where I want it to ride, but I have to hold the throttle, firmly, in position to hold it there. The stick wants to slide back to a slower speed and comes down off plane.
Is there any adjustment to throttle tension that would hold the stick in position? Where is the adjustment?
Thanks, Mack
