Zero effort conhtrol

[berdes]

Swapped in a Mercury Zero Effort binnacle control for the twin Bridgport EFI 2.4's. There is no adjustment on the control for length of throw. Also there is no adjustment that I can see on the engines for length of throw, only cable length on both ends. The engines seem to require about two inches total from reverse to forward, but the control allows for close to three inches, so it never reaches the detent location to lock in. The throttle is a similar situation. What am I missing here? Is there some kind of magic incantation I need to do to get this to work correctly?
Thanks in advance.

No, but it's similar on most all older merc's.

I know they have black and red ends for their cables the red is shorter then the black i had a similar problem on my right motor that one has the red end on it was having a hard time getting shifter working right
