Being a new boater, I'm not sure how the throttle is supposed to feel. It seems to be harder than it should be to get it into forward gear. Reverse seems fine. It doesn't thunk into gear either, it's pretty smooth.

Once it's actually in gear, the throttle movement is pretty smooth.

Is there a trick to make sure everything is straight and/or as it should be?

Re: Sticky throttle

if it's an OMC it could be a cable adjustment problem causing it to bind.

Sorry, should have mentioned it's a 4.3 Volvo Penta I/O.
