ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTER/THROTTLE CONTROL ON THE UTOPIA? I HAVE A 2006 UTOPIA 205 AND FROM DAY 1 THE THROTTLE CONTROL HAS BEEN VERY HARD TO MOVE FROM NEUTRAL TO FORWARD. FROM NEUTRAL TO REVERSE, SAME ISSUE. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT IS BINDING UP?

DEALER SAYS THEY LUBRICATED CONTROL? THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THE CONTROLS BUT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE CABLES AND WHERE THEY CONNECT TO THE REVERSE GATE AND/OR THE THROTTLE CONTROLS? WHEN THE CABLES ARE OFF THE SHIFTER, THE SHIFTER MOVES FREE. IT HAS BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE TRYING TO DOCK THE BOAT OR GET CLOSE TO ANYTHING. BOAT HAS LESS THAN 10 HOURS AND IS AT THE DEALER. PLEASE REPLY.....
