First time out with new boat and we loved it and all went well, but I do have two questions.
1. The left shifter seemed a bit reluctant at times to go into gear, is there an adjust for that? And then I would bet it would be back back at the motor right? Lastly did you ever encounter similar? Just curious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never had any problems with either engine on the 300 going in gear,on one of my 290s I had one engine was at times a little hard/stiff to go in gear,I had to (simple repair)remove the top/side cap on the outdrive and clean and lude the detend spring/check ball assembly,that took care of it and I was told Merc recoments you do that every couple of years.------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The throttles seem like they could use a bit more resistance or tension on them as one or both seemed to move a little while under way. Like once we were going and were at desired pace I would let go and look back a bit later and they were no longer side by side.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never drive with my hands off the throttle so I would never known but it is a simple adjustment,,with the engines OFF!!!move the throttles forward spread the black rubber boots apart and you will see a allen head screw,you can turn it in 1/2 a turn at a time until you get the resistance you like,same could be done with the shifters as well,,Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your new boat,
Tom
