NEN, I'm not positive about how to adjust the manual Scotty's, but if they are anything like the electric ones, when you remove the top cover, there are two nuts, the bottom one adjusts the tension on the clutch, the top one is just a jam nut to keep the bottom one in the correct place. On an electric, you would SLIGHTY tighten the bottom nut until the clutch felt right, then tighten the top nut against the bottom one to keep it in place.

Hope this helps, if it doesn't, call Narrows Tackle & Marine 253-564-4222, ask for Stu, they should be able to tell you.
