I believe mechanical single lever don't work for dual stations, there is too much resistance from the unmanned station. Electronic controls solve this problem. An engine that is running poorly can be problematic with single levers but a diesel's governor general will keep it running, more an issue with gas engines. Running a twin engine sportfish with single levers is an awesome experience, with great visibility, and ease of adding throttle you can make the boat dance in tight quarters. It really is alot of fun.
