My throttle appears to be sticking and NOT operating smoothly.
Mercruiser 4.2 L, Alpha 1 drive (model yr 2000).

When moving the throttle in forward position, it sticks, and almost needs to go past half-way before the engine speeds up ?

Is the issue a 'cable' issue/adjustment, or that the cable needs to be lubed ?

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated !!!!
