We moved the new boat today. It was only my second time driving it. I HATE IT!
Well I don’t hate it, but I seriously dislike it. The gear shift and throttle are integrated. So you push it forward to go into gear, and further for throttle.
I’m used to my Chris Craft where you have separate gear shifts, and throttle shifts.
Since both cables are separate (gear and throttle) I should be able to buy different controls and swap them out right? Is it that simple?
ETA: I had to fix the damn thing on the first ride out because my starboard shift slipped out of the holder. So under the shift housing it slipped out of the clamp and was not letting me get out of gear and was stuck in reverse. I had to take it off the dash, unscrews the clamp, and put it back on the cable housing so that it would shift properly.
