Anyone know these shifters?
 
Recently purchased a 1996 Top Gun and trying to figure out the brand of shifter/throttles these are. I have a issue with the starboard throttle being hard to push the throttle from 1/2 position to wot, from idle to 1/2 throttle it slides fine. Still need to troubleshoot and see if it could be the cable or carb, but it feels more like the shifter needs adjusted so anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks!!

probably cable , disconnect cable from throttle and carb . Check the throttle first , if its good pull the cable buy hand , shouldnt be any tight spots or binding.

I was going to check that first, then the carb. But really needing to know what brand these are?

Hey Jimmy. You might get away with just lubing it. Here are a couple of methods. There are videos out there too.

Marine Machine, have them in my boat

Thanks guys, looks like it is the cable. Still trying to figure out exactly what brand of controls these are. I pulled the throttles today to check the cables and couldn't find any info stamped on them, they're pretty simple units and I didn't notice any adjustment for the resistance of the lever.

Pretty sure they are older Marine Machine controls.

Lathams look similar but are designed differently.
