So after rigging my 150 with this control (Yamaha 704) with the correct adapters I now seem to have a bottom end issue. Engine ran fine for 14 hrs then developed at tick in the bottom end which continued to get worse at 1500rpm. It was suggested to me that the throw on the Yamaha control didn't fully engage the forward gear which has lead to some grinding.which is what I hear (not fully engaged slipping)..?I assume the clutch dog was not engaging, it sounds bad as I reach 1700rpm where I back it right down. I have some tiny "filings" on the magnet and will flush the lower end and refill, I'm going to install a merc binnacle but it looks like the throw is the same, 3". Anyone have any input to this scenario? Not sure if I have %#@&^ up the leg. .....help! When I put in gear (forward) I can just about stand on the prop before it moves, (I disconnected the cable from the motor shift linkage and engaged fully into forward) I'm worried the clutch dog has worn too much to engage properly....was told that even a 1/16" difference can make a huge difference in the engaement
