Hi everyone,
I am looking at buying a 1990 Hunter 35.5. it is in a very good condition and the deck was redone.
The throttle shifter is very hard, so hard that the handle broke.
Any idea of what can caused this? any suggestion for its replacement?

Thanks everyone! I happy to join the Hunter owners!

Probably the cable. Suggest you get the present owner to fix,rather than haggle over price reduction.

I had an '88 35, prob same transmission and control system. Both the plastic handle and cable needed to be replaced. Plastic handle broke...replaced it with metal Edson one. Cable was also an easy replacement.

Thanks Rich. Would you know the part numbers of the Edson cable and handles?

As far as the shift cable goes, you would be better off taking the existing one into a supplier, if one's nearby. I don't have the Hunter 35 any more and the cables come in specific lengths. You could measure your current one then order online at http://www.edsonmarine.com/marinestore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=217

Shift lever comes from same supplier.
