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

[Mary Lou Troy]

elle,
Quickly as we are about to leave the house.

Our honda controls include throttle and shift. The shift comes off 
the side, throttle comes off the front, cables run through the gas 
boot, across the lazarette and under the seats. The controller is a 
single lever for forward, neutral & reverse & throttle. Ours is 
mounted center cockpit under the tiller but could be mounted on the 
side of the cockpit - might be able to be mounted to a steering 
pedestal. I only have pix of the controller but could take more if 
you are interested. The Honda controls required a special frame 
mounted to the engine to keep them in position but it does not 
interfere with the motor mount.
