| 1151.1 | Depends on the model-soem have none | MR4DEC::DCADMUS | happiness is a bigger boat | Tue Feb 08 1994 10:02 | 3 |
| It's a simple friction adjustment that may be internal or external
depending on which control you have. Morse makes LOTS of different
configurations.
|
| 1151.2 | depends on the type of throttle handle. | MR3MI1::BORZUMATO | | Tue Feb 08 1994 10:09 | 24 |
| If you have the type with a brass chrome plated dome take off this cover and
there should be a friction adjustment under it.
the above has the round red and black knobs.
there is another style, whaich has no removable cover. there are friction
screws on each side of the housing, simply turn until the amount of friction
is achieved.
when you say it falls of, this concerns me to some degree, the cable
should hold the throttle in its position. the friction adjustment
makes it a little harder to move it around. it shouldn't be falling
as you describe.

| 1151.3 | use hose clamps maybe | TFH::KTISTAKIS | Mike K. | Tue Feb 08 1994 10:25 | 8 |
| I believe you have the same problem i had last year.The throttle
control lever would swing back to idle so I too had to hold it or
tie it to the binacle.Then I was told that there was not enough friction
between the jacket of the cable and the wire and to put a couple of
hose clamps on the cable and adjust them accordingly till the lever
stays where it is set. I did and works fine.
Ofcourse could be a spring that went bad also.
Good luck.New cables cost a bit.

| 1151.4 | cable replacement | MR3MI1::BORZUMATO | | Tue Feb 08 1994 10:51 | 7 |
| actually the cost of a new cable is not that bad. if i remember it
was less than $30. this was the heavier duty of the choices.
replacement is pretty easy. tape one to the other and pull.

| 1151.5 | More on "Falling off" | RCOCER::FRASCH | | Tue Feb 08 1994 17:09 | 15 |
| The boat has twin screws with both upper and lower helms, so replacing cables looks
like a real bear!
One throttle will hold position for about 30 sec, and then start gradually slipping
down. It's enough that I have to keep my hand on it. It only happens over part of the
throttle range --- I think from about 2500 to 3000 RPM (right where I want to use it
most of the time). The other throttle is fine!
I do have the removable "Chrome-Dome" style covers with lots of adjusting nuts and
stuff under them. I'll look for the brake adjusters, and if there not there, try a
clamp!!
