Default Taking up Slack in throttle

Is there a way to adjust the slack in the throttle cable on my side mount merc control so When I put it in gear it bumps the throttle a little? With the cam in my small block I have to idle it around 900 in neutral to idle it 600 in gear. Engine doesn't like running that slow and I hate the sound of the drive when it engages.
