Hi. I have a Glastron GTS 207 but this issue may cross over into all boats. When I push throttle forward I hear and feel a clicking inside the throttle. Does this mean my throttle cable is about to break ? Or maybe just needs adjusted ? Or anything else ? Thanks
 
Never heard of a throttle cable breaking.....not to say it can't happen, but it would be unusual. Besides the clicking is it moving smoothly or is there resistance too?
 
No resistance. But I can feel the clicking and hear it both. Someone said take the cover off the throttle lever and lube it up inside. I guess I’ll try that.
 
Ditto cover off, dialectric grease..
