[Rhodes22-list] HELP! How about a debate on.. WAS: A GREAT Email List

[L. Sailor]

Hank,
  I don't know. But knowing Stan, he'll be able to invent something. (The boat is not curently at GBI). I just became aware of the problem this week & Stan is at ST. Pete at the boat show. I will contact him as soon as he has a chance to breathe.
   
  My friend the dealer has been westling with this & hasn't wanted to worry me. Neither of us realized it would be such a problem.
   
  How about the shifter linkage? How does one shift w/o reaching to the engine? Are there remotes for this?

  Elle,

Can't Stan build some sort of spacer that would give room for the cables to
turn out of the way?Something that would allow the engine to be mounted x
number of inches further back?
