Wrong Scotty,

I'ts just a cheap set-up. On any boat.

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?

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.
