Face it, having a seperate shift and throttle control sucks.

The vast majority of boats have exactly that, however. Proper usage isn't
hard to learn, and making sure crew know how to use it is also imperative.

I agree Max lots of boats have dual controls...I hate them, they are as
you say, not hard to master, but as just about everyone here has said,
they have made the same mistake, usually when in a pinch or bind. The
reason most boats use dual controls is it's the cheap way to go. Dual
controls on a twin screw is an accident waiting to happen IMO.
