Mewrcury Outboard 9.9hp throttle cam issue

Hi All
I am new here with a 2022 Mercury 9.9hp electric start outboard. and am currently cruising the world so not easy to get these things fixed.

I have a problem with the throttle cam position relative to the neutral cam position and I need to know how to adjust this.

Currently when trying to shift into reverse the engine revs before engaging (very dangerous). Not sure how this occurred in the first place but needs rectifying.
At first I thought the throttle linkage needed adjusting but realized that the throttle cam was in the wrong position.

I don't want to fiddle with the bolt in the middle of this cam until I have some firm advice about this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
thanks
Tony
 
Sorted out my issue for anyone else interested this is what happened.

The throttle cam had somehow manager to slip a couple of notches so that in forward there was a lot of movement before acceleration and in reverse it was the opposite.
Re aligning the cam position so the neutral spot had throttle play in forward and reverse gears solved the problem.
