I did a search for this, and didn't find anything specific to this issue. If it's already been asked/answered, just call me a newbie and direct me to the appropriate thread.

Anyway, I have a '96 speedster. I've only owned it for a year, and it's always exhibited this issue. The throttle controls are very, very stiff when the engine is running. You really have to put some muscle into it to give it some gas. (so stiff that my wife can barely move them when she's driving)
But when it's off, the throttle levers move smooth as silk. Seems really odd to me, but since they move smoothly when the engine is off, I can't see how it could be any kind of stuck cable issue.
Maybe I just don't understand the mechanics of exactly how these boats run, but is there anything I can do make the throttle levers move a little easier?
