John, Thank you for this valuable information. The pictures answered my question. I thought it was probably like that but then sometimes we shouldn't "assume". Dick Schmidt

My 1985 model does not. Though there is a dent in the casting where a drill and tap could be used to create the threads for the bolt. If you go to: http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/PDFs/installation/EB396EngineControlInstr.PDF on page 5, second picture under 11. The throttle is on the right. Note a 1/4 bolt hex head just to the right of the bushing keeper screw.
