Kiekhaefer throttles issue
I have Kiekhaefer controls on a fairly new to me boat with twins, I've noticed that one of the throttles is much harder to move than the other and this weekend it actually got stuck at about 3/4 throttle until I yanked back on it with a bit of force. Any idea what the issue might be and what to do? Like I said, one feels great, nice smooth action from click to click, but the other..... Thanks!

Well I pulled the cables off and no difference, so went on to pull the whole control unit out. Took it all apart and there are two balls in there that click into place, well one of the two "tracks" was worn so badly that I think the ball bearing was getting stuck in the holes. So when I reassembled them I left that one out. They feel 100% smoother now. Thanks for the help guys, almost wish it was just the cable.
