Default Trim in the wheel???

I had the trim in the wheel on my Checkmate anyone know who makes or sells it I think it was CRT(cordless rotery trim)
I have the trim switches mounted on the dash and would like to put them on the throttles or the wheel....I talked to Gafrig a few ago and they have a clamp on switch set up but would rather have it in the wheel or if someone made a knob with the swiches in it ?

CRTwent out of buisness a few years ago as I was told. Might try Fountain dealers and see if they have any laying around since that is what they used. I bought 4 of the push button switches from them last yr. They ended up coming from the factory itself. Extra stock I guess.

Riverview Marine in Ill. had a new white steering wheel complete with 6 buttons last yr. But you will still need the CRT unit itself.

To bad your tag line is so Anti-Fountain. Cause then I might have considered parting with the extra complete CRT unit and switches I have.

Dyno,
No Beeks, No Steps, No way! I guess you’re satisfied with life in the slow lane. Just beating Back4More to the punch.

The old CRT setup is still being made. This is the link to it.

http://www.gtmarine.com/htm/Product.htm

I purchased a new leather wrapped wheel from them. I didn't care for the feel of the wheel or the look of the rocker switches mounted to the top of the wheel. They had me send it back with no problems. This is the only company I know of making the CRT hub. The rubber wheel may have a better feel to it.


Dan

BTW, I really like the way the Sonic looks. Just wish it had left handed throttles.

Candyman, that's great! I stand corrected. I called the GTMarine number that is on the unit itself last year, and was told by them they no longer make them. Who knows!

Dyno, was just funnin with ya. I plan to keep the extra unit for spare parts. After all, one of our OSO brothers gave me this last year. I just needed a couple of the buttons, he sent me the whole thing as he removed it. I'd feel real guilty selling it to you, when he just gave the whole thing to me, free. I just wouldn't be able to sleep at nite.

Available white or black with three switches.
Phone 800 422 7267
Catalog list price $1091.06 looks nice but expensive.

Dyno,
Just haven fun with you. We plan on looking at Sonic and a couple other manufactures when we purchase our next boat. My wife really liked this one at the Chicago show. It's a 386.

Hey Don
I put the Livorsi tab button setup on my throttles last year, the drive button was already there. Works slick and ya never have to take your hand off the throttle. 200 bucks, not a bad deal.
