So my 2019 Limited S has the throttle drop on the port side and the cables need to be synced (port is running 800 RPM too high).

I took a screw driver out with me yesterday while on the water and popped off the cover for the binnacle friction screws. I gave the port side about 1 full turn. Did a test drive and still not enough. Before I start to really tighten up the port side screw, how many turns have most people needed to adjust? Also it seems that you can’t really tell if it worked unless the boat is underway.

Plan to work on the throttle cables today.
 
sorry I've got no clue to answer your question, hoping bumping this back to the top of the new posts will give it a couple more views,

I don't remember reading any posts though of members adjusting it,

Tightening the screw only increases the tension to move the handles. The cables move independently of that screw. Look in the faq for my throttle drop fix.
