I had that happen on an ETEC 200hp. Take cover off binacle. They advance throttle. In my instance the cable had slipped off the mechanism and was not pushing control cable forward.

Sounds likely a cable end is popped free. A very slight chance thatcable would break given the lack of strain.

So uncover binacle see if cable is being pushed. Take cowl off O/B and have someone move the throttles up and back. See if the throttle is moving a lever at the O/B end.
