I've gotten a few replies, which I am thankful for, but I'm hoping for
a few more before I plunk my money on the table. Dual function VS
single function engine controls for twin inboards- which do you
prefer, and why? Any particular brands that you are partial to? I am
seriously considering the Uflex B58 controls.

I was a little confused the first time I replied, so allow me to try
again.

Personally, I like engine and throttle controls in one package. Being
right handed, I prefer them on the right side. Having seperate left
(gear) right (throttle) controls seems unnecessarily complicated to me
as you use them the same way.

In my use with outboards, I could control both engines with one hand
and the other never left the steering control. Somehow that seems
safer to me and a lot less complicated.
