    I have owned my 2005 43 Cabo for over a year and have not figured out how to increase the idle speed when the boat is in neutral. I believe I am following the directions on the electronic controls but it never has worked. Not sure if something is defective or its me.
    Thanks for your input.

    well, about telling us what brand/model of controls you have???

    on the Morse electronics, you lift the cover and hold the transfer switch for a few seconds until the N lights blink. this disables the transmission function of the controls. You can then move the controls forward into gear without engaging the trannies, then at higher RPM in Neutral

    but again, this is for the morse, since you didn't tell us what controls you have... who knows!!

    A little to add to this but if you havent found the answer yet maybe I can help. What engines do you have? Man, Cat? What controls? If Man they are probably RexRoth. These dont have a clear or obvious button to press but it works. Also the Cat controls will work. Will need to know what you have.
