The throttle and shifting on my 03 210 with Honda 130 was poor right out of the box. My dealer told me it was normal. It is not.
I had the cables replaced last year with teleflex standard cables (what the boat came with). No change. I just installed teleflex TFXtreme cables purchased from Overton's for $57 apiece. They perform just as you would expect. Now no more straining to do simple docking maneuvers. Slides in and out of gear perfectly.
Strange how smooth shifting makes sliding up to the dock a snap!
