Pour enough motor oil into the bag to fully submerge the end of the cable jacket and zip the bag closed.

If you need to replace one cable, change both.What is throttle friction adjustment?The throttle control can be adjusted so that its friction makes operating the vessel comfortable and safe. It can also be adjusted, while operating the vessel, to change speeds. Adjust the throttle friction with the adjustment screw that’s typically below the throttle on the tiller.
