Abstract
A marine propulsion device comprising a mounting assembly adapted to be mounted on the transom of a boat, a propulsion unit mounted on the mounting assembly for pivotal movement relative thereto about a generally vertical steering axis, the propulsion unit including a rotatably mounted propeller, and an internal combustion engine drivingly connected to the propeller and including a throttle, a throttle control member movably mounted on the propulsion unit for controlling the throttle, a stop member mounted on the propulsion unit for movement relative thereto, the stop member having a surface located adjacent the throttle control member for limiting movement of the throttle control member, and a thumb wheel for moving the stop member, thereby adjusting the limit of movement of the throttle control member.
