Thanks for the diagram. The bracket as illustrated, showing the stop cable attached, is the one I was previously referring to. Unfortunately, my 1980 LF38 does not have this cable installed. Thanks for the additional info Fred, sounds like I have the same set up as your boat. Not sure how stiff the throttle should feel, but mine feels stiff enough that I don't feel a neutral position throughout the entire travel. I'll have to try this out tomorrow though...now that I know there should be some resistance I may actually feel it when i'm using the boat.
