[Rhodes22-list] Remote Motor Control

[Bill Effros]

I have a Tohatsu remote, clamp-mounted on the stern rail.  I remove it when I remove the motor.  Use expensive cables--they work better in the tight turns required on small boats.  The remote is directly under my left hand on the port side, completely out of the way when not in use--just above the drink holder.  The cables are in the channels of the seats under the cushions.  I sit in my captain's seat.  I steer with my right hand.  I drink and operate the throttle and shift mechanism with my left hand.  I'm the master of a very small universe.

The remote control is mounted on the forward wall of the rear lazarette.
There is a woden backing board and the cables are then fed back through
the laz to the engine through one of those rubber seals.  The setup is
reasonably convenient - although on occasion I have bumped the throttle
lever when moving around the cockpit.  I can take a picture next
weekend if you would like.

Where to you have the remote control mounted so it doesn't get in the way? I
just purchased a new Mercury 9.9 (4 cycle) with remote control for my 1988
Rhodes 22. Thanks

I have a Quicksilver remote control connected to a Mercury
9.9 electric start outboard on my '89.  I seem to have lost
the lost the setup instructions.  Does anyone have a similar
setup and maybe  copy of the the instructions?  I can probably
figure it out myself but I would feel a bit more warm and
fuzzy if I had a copy of the instructions.
