I'm new to this site and apologize if this topic has already been covered. I fish by trolling upstream in the St Clair river in Michigan which has a swift and variable current. I can set my idle speed at anything between 500 and 1000 RPM by turning the screw in and out but once it is set I can't give it a little more power without the engine going into high speed mode (over 1000-1200 RPM). There seems to be hump in the speed control that keeps me either in idle or high speed mode. My question is if there is a way I can modify the speed control so that I can get smooth even RPM's anywhere between 500 and 1000 RPM by moving the throttle lever. The obvious answer is to by a trolling motor but my Merc runs so well it would be great if I could just adjust the RPM's in the low range. Thanks for the help.
