Throttle Adjutment with Perfect Pass

[dnicholas47]

I have read a few threads, and watched Will's video for throttle adjustment, but is it possible that someone can give me instructions for dummies when the boat has perfect pass? My starboard engine is nearly 750 rpm behind port when cruising without perfect pass turned on. I got the boat at the end of the summer last year and I haven't used PP yet this year yet, so I don't know if it is the same with it engaged. I am not too mechanically inclined and I just don't want to screw up the perfect pass changing anything. Plus, since I did royally screw up a simpler mod that I saw on here (please don't ask), so I am gun-shy to boot. I will be on the water this weekend so I can check both ways and adjust as needed. Thanks.

PP only sets what your throttles are currently at, if your engines are 750rpm off when PP activates it will stay that way while PP makes it's MPH adjustments,

My throttle handles are many times offset slightly to be at the same RPM, I just try to pay attention when I hit the PP set MPH that they are close in RPM's, it doesn't bother me enough to spend the time to try to fix it,

If you really feel the need to make your throttle handles match for RPM's I believe you could either adjust at the throttle body on the engine or underneath the throttle assembly at the helm,

If your throttles slip back we also have a very good DIY to fix that, be sure to check out the FAQ tab at the top of the page for lots of great DIY,

Someone else hopeful will have more detailed advice,

It's been years since I adjusted mine, so I don't remember exactly, but... I'm pretty sure you adjust the throttle cable right by the intake butterfly, loosen a couple 10mm nuts, adjust and tighten.
