[C320-list] 2 minute video on Adjusting Throttle Tension on Edson Pedestal

Yup, it probably would. I opted for the easiest solution I could find at my local West Marine. And BTW, thanks for the correction on the link.

Dave-

From your experience, wouldn't a simple, much  less expensive cable clamp like this to be able to squeeze the cable slightly do the same? https://www.e-rigging.com/three-thirty-seconds-inch-stainless-wire-rope-clips <https://www.e-rigging.com/three-thirty-seconds-inch-stainless-wire-rope-clips>

Note .... you must take off the end parenthesis in the link you provided at West Marine for it to work.

If you don’t have a throttle tension screw on your binnacle, there is a small piece of hardware, called a throttle brake:

It will run you about $25. It attaches to your throttle cable—I have mine close to my engine, and a screw on the unit adjusts the friction on the cable. Solved my problem pretty easily.
