I have a "deadman" style pistol grip throttle salvaged from an old mini-hydroplane. It is marked Keller Mfg Co. Seattle, and Keller 200. What is it, how old, etc. If you have any info, please let me know as my searches have come up dry so far. Thanks!!<br />

Re: Any vintage Mercury racers out there?

I have'nt seen thoes since the late 60's .<br />The ones I used were wrinkel red paint.<br />They worked either push or pull,so you could <br />use them on any brand motor. The lock pin on the handle was a dangerous thing to use. You didn't want to fall out and have the boat run at WOT with out you. If memory serves me <br />they cost about $60 back then. Hope this helped some. Nice find.

There are antique Mercury racers who belong to the AOMCI (www.aomci.org).
