Sounds like a cable issue.
Also remember when engaging into drive (from neutral) do it with a quick action- don’t do it slowly as not good for the gearbox.
I would google for a manual on the throttle controller you have and look at how is should be set up.

Just bought a Hardy Family pilot with a 2019 Mariner 60;engine. My question is about the throttle control.
Engine starts fine and throttle works smoothly but very little happens until about half way down then within a millimetre it’s on high revs. Is this normal please as I am more used to diesels which had a very smooth action.
