I checked it and also based off of feel, there was zero resistance in the throttle lever after this happened. I popped the dog house since I was at idle and checked for any movement of the throttle linkage when I moved the throttle. Again nothing, didn't matter one way or the other. The bracket that the throttle linkage bolts up to and the linkage itself on the carb were tight and strong, it was a challenge just popping off the linkage at the carb. It will be at least a few days before I go back to the boat to deal with this issue though so I guess I have more time to use that handy search function on these forums now that I'm home.
