I replaced my throttle cable 2 years ago. The "after market" clamp had split the outer sheath and moisture getting to the rod had caused it to rust and become stiff. I chose not to replace the clamp and to use the internal bolt in the pedestal to set the tension. Worked ok for a while - but is now allowing too much slippage. It's a pia to have to take off the compass to re- adjust - just one of the winter projects!
