Hi All,

I have the above old beast but runs like a dream cept for when the water is
a bit rough. Motor is forward steering and control. As the boat 'bounces'
the throttle lever pulls back and the motor slows so I need to keep one hand
on the throttle and one on the steering.

Any ideas if there is some sort of tension control or similar that I can
tighten up.

thanks
Alan

There should be a knob on the throttle contol somewhere that allows you to
tighten the tension. Look around for it.

covers

It would be external. Look under where the control cables go in if I
remember right.
