Throttle tension adjustment.

[lakegeorge]

My throttle is slipping when running and I don't see an adjustment to tighten it down. Does anyone know if this the type that is under the console?
I think the part # is 883711a12 if that helps.
It's a 2012 model with silver sides and black strip down the middle with the merc logo on the bottom.
I wrote Mercury and am waiting for an answer from them but hoped that someone on here has adjusted theirs already.

Craigmack, thanks for the pic. I will try to find mine, I know it's not under the cover so I need to find it under the console. That won't be easy as it's such a small area to get into.

I had to remove the top cover and the mounting screws to lift the throttle out far enough to access the nut. If your console is like mine you'll never reach it from beneath. Hopefully you'll have enough play in the cables to lift it out (I suspect you will).
