Thanks For The add. Nice forum, alot of info.. I searched here, other places; and YouTube not really a clear answer. I bought a 2000 1648 polar kraft with a 83 70hp johnson. The is my first boat with a console. My question is about my throttle and throttle cable. The first photo is in neutral, second is in forward,and the third is how far I have to push the throttle for anything to happen,and the throttle cable moves. This might be normal, I just want to check and make sure. It just seems there's alot of travel or play in the cable. Any advice would be appreciated.
