Hi, Can an outboard that is currently being used via steering wheel, have a hand throttle/control put on it? I have a 14ft aluminum and would like to put it on my boat?? Thanks/Eric

The "conversion" is usually pretty easy- and cheap, If you cn find tha
parts off a "junker". Usually, manual controls are available up to 50
HP motors.
Best is to check with a dealer and see if he has the used stuff on
hand.

Or the screams of the spotter that the skier fell

THEEEEEeeeeerrrrr !
Trying to get one teen to drive while another one spots is one
thing; but when they start cranking the tunes - - I guess that's the
price to ski ? at least they don't need mega-watt rock to overcome
the engine noise in my boat.
