Throtol friction???

[Scott15]

hey everyone.

My throtol on my boat is very stiff to push foward. we have taken it apart and checked it all out and put a bit of grease in the cable but its still pretty bad. if anyone could give me advice on how to fix it that'd be great. i might just need to get a new throtol cable :-/ :-/.,

try spraying a bit of inox down it and move it back and forth did this with the pivot on my outboard worked wonders

Scott,

Is it just stiff to get out of neutral, or is it stiff the whole way? I've found my lever is stiff to push it into forward, but once in, its easy to accelerate/decelerate/etc....

thanks andy will try that.
fishin dan its hard to push both directions reverse and to go foward. its just hard to push alround.

take the cable off the linkage at the engine and try it to see if the problem is at the cable or the engine linkage. Mine was actually a linkage adjustment problem.
