We bought a boat (92 crestliner 160 sportfish) with a 70 hp johnson mid 70's early 80's I think.
The throttle has been very stiff so I pulled all the linkage apart and cables.
Cables run smooth and everything in the control box is smooth
Turned to the motor side and found the throttle arm was super stiff. Took me about 2 hrs of wiggling back and forth to get it off. I cleaned everything up and tried to put back together but the plastic bushing that is inserted where the bolt goes is giving me a rough time. How do I get the damn thing back together. Even went and got new bushings because I thought the old ones might of swelled over time but still the same problem
