Default Stiff Throttle

Hi guys

Throttles are very stiff and clunky going into and out of gear, reverse and forward.....which makes docking interesting....also when getting on plane it takes a lot of physical effort to push levers to full throttle....and then when throttle back it hard to be subtle.....its kinda all or nothing.....makes me looks like a learner driver kangarooing down the road :-)

So the mechanic greased the mechanism and the cables as the boat was out of the water for over 2 yrs....is this normal? And will use improve it? If not anyone have any ideas

Cheers

J

What outdrive do you have? Cables probably need replacement. What throttle/ gear control do you have?
