Fixed the problem by disconnecting the throttle lever from the forked fitting at the binnacle end of the throttle cable, unscrewing the forked fitting from the end of the cable, drilling two holes about 1/2" further down the fork for the clevis pin and reattaching the fitting to the throttle lever on the binnacle. This had the effective of shortening the cable and thus allowing the throttle control  to provide the full power of the engine if required. More details available if anyone is interested. Thanks to all for suggestions.

Now back to the problem of my temperamental alarm switch...

Thank you John for this fix. We just acquired a 2001 C34 mk II with the same issue of our throttle lever hitting the support and not allowing us to get much over 2100 RPM or so. I am relatively new to this so was hoping you could share some further details on your fix please?  Many thanks in advance!

We went with an Atlantic tower with built-in davits and absolutely love it. Holds the dinghy very securely and high out of the water and is very easy to raise and lower using Garhauer blocks. It supports our solar as well and is rock solid. We are considering another boat and this would be the very first thing we add to it.

Nice set up! I am considering going with an Atlantic Tower as well on our 2001 C34 MkII. Any special spec/option you'd advise needed for this? Thanks!
