True.... I like a fine throttle, not 1906
technology....sheeeze if
you"re going that route, why not just bolt two sticks with
strings to
your helm to control your main engine?


Sticks? I just have strings and turning blocks.



I wish I had a power boat throttle on RedCloud. That
would be a roller
bearing.. air controlled throttle from Morse. Smooooooooth
as glass,
deck to deck power range, with idle indicators, and a
really cool
Caaaaaaaaa Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound when dropped out of
gear, sortta
like air brakes on your Rig.


I'll keep that in mind if I ever buy a motorboat.... KNOT !
