Hello
I own a 1993 Sweetwater pontoon C150 . I bought it last fall and only used it for a couple laps around the lake before winter storage. The throttle is somewhat stiff to push in forward and reverse , but it does operate and the stiffness is not extreme,and is consistent throughout the entire range . I would like to lubricate the cables and have seen the plastic bag ,and compressor / plastic tubing methods on you tube .On this site , I have seen discussion of a tension adjuster .I am wondering if this boat has one? I do not have access to the boat because it is not stored at my house.If anyone has any knowledge of this adjuster ,I would be interested in knowing where it is? I have no literature for the boat.I would really like to see if anyone has used a motorcycle cable luber, but cant find any info for using it on boat controls. This devise works great on motorcycle cables and I don't know why it would not work on boat cables except for maybe a cable diameter size issue .Other people here have asked about cable lubrication , but I have not seen any answers that offer a definitive answer, and don't get off track of the subject.Any response would be appreciated
Thanks

Re: Stiiff throttle forward and reverse
The tension adjustment is a knob that is usually located on the bottom or side of your throttle.
Can't help with the cable lube question.
Good luck.
