I need to change out the throttle/shift controls on my new (old) 28'
Uniflite Mega with twin inboards. I had years of experience with a
23' single inboard lobster boat when I was younger, but none with a
twin setup. I'm leaning towards the single function dual controls,
with the two shifters to the left of the helm, and the throttles to
the right. Is this the preferred setup for most? I'd welcome all
ideas and suggestions.

Thanks,
Michael


I think that's the "traditional" setup and also what I prefer and am used
to.
It's nice to be able to stand backwards and operated the shifts while
docking.

Hey, I used to have a 28' Uniflite Mega also. Twin 318 engines. I
enjoyed
that boat. Solid as a rock.


Uniflite made a really well thought boat for it's time.

Still classics.
