New Pro-drive throttle VERY sensitive
Well, I finally got my boat and new Pro-drive 36. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but I love it so far. The throttle linkage is very sensitive to driver input. Barely touch it and it leaps up or down in speed. No, it's not a matter of "tiller time" , a friend who has one agreed. Makes it difficult to go a steady speed, particularly at low speeds. Any suggestions?

You can always sell it for less than you paid for it and buy a Gatortail.

Would you rather it be sluggish? Roll with it.

WFO is a steady speed. Let off when you need to stop, lol.
