Any suggestions for a good lubricant to use to lubricate the throttle and gear shift cables?

Great tip - thanks! You say you do it every spring. Apparently it keeps the cables in good condition.
I just purchased my Trojan about a year ago and they seem to be working OK, but I noticed a little dragging at the end of boating season so wanted to get it done in the spring.
yes, that trick works great...

Teleflex simply recommends removing cables and lubricating it with waterproof grease.
