When I hit a wake or am in choppy water if I don't keep my hand on the throttle the engine slows down. Is there something on my O/B that needs to be tightened? It's an 85 60HP. Thanks.:D

Do you have a Commander or a Commander 2000 control?

The 3000 controls used 4 differant shift modules (guts) only the 1st had a throttle friction adjustment, that one has a smaller shift release button, than the newer 3 and the latter 3 have no friction device in there design
