Well the only way I see 70 is behind my powerstroke, but I guess I am still running 64 with half throttle (so they think).

So if I am looking at it correctly the alluminum piece is bolted tot he original location of the throttle cable and simple extends the mounting location another 3/4". I am pretty sure I simple minded redneck like myself can figure it out. Did you have someone make that aluminum piece for you, it looks like it was machined.

Made it myself. Just a 1/4 X 1 piece of alum. Drilled several holes for the adjustment.

More power is coming after this season. Until then I will just have to run at the back of the pack.:(

Problem Solved. I made an aluminum plate to extend the mount 3/4" and it worked out perfectly. Thanks everyone for the comments and advice. Unfortunately all that work and I will still be running the same speed.:(

LOL. I will do my best to run with the Crownies next weekend and not disgrace the Baja name. I did change props so with a little luck I may be able to hit 65 and i can only imagine there will be a couple of Crownlines running that speed, but we will see.

I know you got it fixed bit for future reference...
Morse cables come in a zillion lenghts and strokes. If you measure from the end of the threads to the detent ring in the cable (where the cable is snapped in to the bracket) and go to a industrial supply place or their website (http://www.teleflexmorse.com/CableControls.html) and look on their chart you can see what the stroke of your cable is and what's available. The length you measure is NOT THE ACTUAL STROKE!!! Measure the cable on a simillarly equipped boat if in doubt. Ok - I am done saying stroke, buddy, cable, and lengths in the same post. Hope it helps.
