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

[Philip]

What about setting the controls up like a speed boat with the shift and
throttle on the binnacle post?  Even if you could mount the shifter, you
might be able to adapt a motorcycle throttle, since the carburetor operates
on a cable.  I thought of doing that myself.

Gang at the bar:

  How about a debate on which engine exists for elle's boat? We cannot find
one that has 1) cables coming out the side,) and 2) shifter remote so I can
work the controls.

  The way it is now, I would have to lean over the transom, practically hang
by my heels to reach the shifter, and steer with my feet while looking aft &
down.

  I don't think this is a trend I want to be responsible for starting.

  Seriously, tho', this is a major problem. It has nothing to do with it
being a wheel boat...just all the engines I 've found have the cables coming
out the front  which will hit the motor lift. (And, of course, the shifter
problem.) I would like to stay with a Japanese made engine.

  Anyone, ANYONE out there have a suggestion? If I can't get this solved I
will have to get rid of the boat.

  I'll be in touch with GBI when they get back from ST. Pete.

Joe,
You must be media deprived.  I am bored and irritated to
find on a sailors' forum the same discussion of politics that's on every
radio and TV talk show as well as so many other blogs and lists.
A
debate on bottom paint would be refreshing.
