1988 Santego 30 - Throttle position to engage reverse is very very far back


The throttle position to engage reverse appears to be very far into the travel. It has made getting into reverse with small amount of thrust difficult. I don't have a picture but the position for engagement is somewhere near 60 deg of the travel.

Is this normal for Mercruiser Alpha I/O drives in the 1988 Santego 30? If not, what would I start looking into adjusting? Is this a cable age, cable maintenance issue? Is it reasonable to start looking into this issue while boat is still in the water?
