Dual (Non Electronic) Throttle Adjust - 2002 282 w/ Volvo

Anyone adjusted throttle friction on a 282 dual set up with the what I suspect are livorsi controls... my starboard engine throttle needs to be tighter (i.e. harder to move) to make it match port and to hold its position when I take my hands of throttles.

best picture I could find of the throttle set up. I at least wanted to ask before I started taking it apart and turning bolts and screws :lol:

Your plate doesn’t have the rubber boot as I can tell so you my be able to sneak a Allen wrench down behind the throttle arm and adjust it.
My Sunsation had livorsi with a push forward slightly on the throttle you can barely see it below. Use a flashlight
Use the 90deg 3/16 end and see if you can tighten it.
You may have to pop it up if the cables allow enough movement.

Thanks again for the quick reply. At least I know which Allen wrench to try first !

Always worth asking before tearing stuff apart.

Does it matter. There's only 2 positions to put your throttle in. Idle and wot. Nothing in between mattersπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ‘
