Default Livorsi control install question?

I am getting ready to swap my oe offshore control for a billet Livorsi control. I believe the oe one is just the stadard Kiekhaefer control? Anyways, I am a little worried that I am going to have trouble getting the new throttle adjusted correctly, or should I be able to unbolt my oe control and bolt in the new one? I am fairly mechanically inclined, but I have never pulled pulled controls before. Should I just have it installed for me? Or is this somethign I should be able to do myself?

Old control-


New Control-

They are easy to adjust. You can get them pretty close at the control and then do the final adjustment at the other end in the bilge.

nice conrtol! same size as your o.e? as far as mounting base goes. that's the only problem i see, should be almost plug and play as Griff stated.

Pictures are deceiving. Same size base and mounting holes.

I was going to say a wheel and some gauges would look SICK to go along with that shifter!! Wise choice to add some color! I'm digging it!
