Salty, I've tried every throttle position both in gear and neutral as much as possible. I've also searched the forums for the thread, found it and started there yesterday. The back of this morse control goes forward from the the control another 4 inches or so. I can't even get it close to flush to get it out and I can't get the linkage disconnected from the control so I can at least pull the cable and run a new one and fix the problem. It's frustrating because after two solid days of playing and working on this I'm no farther along than removing the three screws that hold the morse control to the fiberglass and am looking at spending at least $400 to have the dealer go gang busters on it this week.
