My throttle cable came with a small clamp that squeezes the outer plastic
sheath against the inner SS rod. I've seen this same setup on several other
boats. Without it, the throttle spring pulls the lever till the engine slows to
an idle. Some Edson binacles have a screw that serves the same purpose. When
you pull the compass, it can be seen as a SS screw that puts pressure on the
lever shaft.

Subject: Stus-List Shift / throttle cables
Have removed the shift and throttle cables as they were stiff and had excessive
resistance. Not surprising as they are OEM and 33 years old. Any thoughts on
suitable replacement and where to purchase??
On a related note, our Yanmar 3GM throttle has a built in internal spring that
applies increasing resistance as the throttle is opened more. The OEM fix was
to put an adjustable crimp in the cable but that seems less than ideal. Any
thoughts as to how to offset the internal spring??
Many thanks for your thoughts
