Can any one help out with the right way to jubricate the throttle cable/system? My control functions ok, but it is a bit stiff.

I have twin 1988 Johnson 70 hp on an 1988 Outrage 18. other than doing this twice, should I look out for any other issues? Is there a right / wrong way to do this?

Any help would be greatly apreciated.:D

180,

There is really no way to lube the cable itself. The only lubrication needed is on the linkage on the engine and the linkage on the control unit at the helm.
