GT. Boats and throttle linkage is not universal, but most of the time the design is to use some form of clamp to put friction in the throttle housing. Either on the cable or to the throttle handle. This is a wear point that requires eventual maintenance and adjustment. Or a good bungee.they use a small bungee to keep the revs steady.
Hunter props, shafts, struts, and cutless bearingsAnd now a word from the sponsor...
I didn't interpret the OP's description as fluctuating "between" 2800 & 2000, but rather I picked up on the "down from" part. If going back and forth is the the case, then indeed it would not be a throttle cable problem.I'm thinking that a slipping throttle would not allow the RPMs to both decrease and increase.
Oh Mark. Clearly you are leading a sheltered life. Until you've been "mothered" in heavy seas you have not lived. I hope you get a chance in the near to you future. You will become reborn, be considered better looking and likely win the Irish Lottery.I've never mothered in heavy seas
Thanks for reminding me about that little clamp. Took a look, and sure enough it was loose and just dangling there. Tightened her up an now I can hold at 3k all day, or at least until the fuel is gone!GT.

Careful what you wish for. I've been there and done that...until the fuel is gone
