Good luck with whatever solution you end up with .

But I...Maybe I will give it a try without as well. But I think I'd love to be able to control throttle and gear shift from the cockpit, although I probably won't run the engine much. I don't like how leaning back to shift gears takes all attention from traffic and steering in tight waters with "Frimann".<br />I have also planned to run the wires trough a tube across the aft cabin, the problem seems to be the control unit will be in the way no matter where in the cockpit I place it. And dimensions seems to be just too small to fit it most places. The best system I've seen so far might be the one on Rod T's F-32 PAX. But then I'd hate to steer with a throttle.....Tor Rabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504285787153280086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925624084410433889.post-55900970505845106412010-10-06T23:08:00.992+02:002010-10-06T23:08:00.992+02:00I haven't worried about a remote control syste...I haven't worried about a remote control system for the engine , the amount we use it doesn't warrant such a hassle . You have good vision standing on the swim platform for manoeuvring and for general getting somewhere we just steer with the rudder . If we had to instal one we would probably run the controls in a tube through the aft cabin to the cockpit . Avoiding doing it unless really necessary .

The tiller will be a close fit, but it's not here yet, so haven't been able to check. I will probably have to raise the engine 1/4" for better access to the tilt mechanism, this will give equal better tiller clearance.<br />Another headache is the remote throttle/gear shift. Integrated in the tiller? Removable lever system?

Your motor must only just clear the tiller too or are you having the remote internal system ? Cheers , Jim Buckland .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
