Oday 28 Lake Michigan
Been spending the last 2 weeks getting use to my new (to me) ODay 28. Love it. My previous boat ( Catalina 27) had wheel steering with a trottle that was very loose. Actually used a bungie cord from time to time to keep it in place. On the new ODay it is just the opposite, it is vey tight. So tight I'm concern I might break the lever. Is there an adjustment feature to tension the trottle cable?

If you have an Edson pedestal, there is a adjustment set screw on the throttle shaft. You have to remove the compass to get to it. The previous owner may have over tightened the screw to prevent throttle creep.

Also check the throttle cable in the engine compartment for an aftermarket friction device. The device looks like a tiny C-clamp.
