Agreed. My throttle cable got harder to use and then it split out the side! The casing (spiral wound) just came apart and the innards came out. Duct tape fixed it for the short term, but a new cable was called for.

Not expensive - save yourself a second trial - the hardest part was getting the pedestal apart to replace it.

Most of our boats are at least 20 years old. A new cable is a lot more reliable than an old resuscitated one. Generally if a cable is stiff, it has rusted internally and should be replaced.

In the past I have taped a hose to a funnel over the cable with a light lube in it. Then with the rubber slinger off worked the cable from the gear box. Some times the head pressure of the funnel will get your lube down the cable. Higher the funnel more the head Psi. Could try a shop vac on the bottom to add more difarecheal pressure? -RR
