Has anyone other than John Tomlinson run a boat with twin engines using a foot throttle? My carpal tunnel is getting so bad my hand goes numb while holding the throttles. Do you use a separate one for each engine, or is someone smart enough to make one that works with one foot?

Thanks

Look @ In-Control throttles and shifters, they have a split foot throttle that you can rock side to side with 1 foot or you can keep your foot level and apply pressure

As above, In Control. Excellent piece of kit.

Thanks for the help guys. Chris, why would I need a sit down boat? :-) Yeah, its a cat.

The 30 Skater cat that was in PB had foot throttles and twins

Like they said - In Control has a twin throttle that is split in two- one side for each engine. Probably takes a bit of gettng used to though. From what I've seen, their quality is second to none. As far as I know, their throttles (certainly the single engine version) can even be used in conjunction with your existing hand throttles. Obviously, you will need the necessary cable kit to connect it to the existing throttles. Best of both worlds. what could be better?

In a stand up your knees are taking a lot of the shock and your feet (atleats mine) are stationary, would be very difficult to maintain throttle position trying to pivot on your heel.
