Re: What throttle Contol to Buy?

I just installed that Teleflex 1700 (sidemount) control in my '95 Sea Ray. I really like the feel. It is very smooth and solid feeling. Paid 199.95 at Overtons.com. Unfortunately, I had to buy a new cable setup to install it on my 7.4L. That cost $400.00.

Well.........it does now.<br /><br />Here is the unit I bought.<br /><br /> http://www.overtons.com/modperl/overtons/detail/pdetail2.cgi?r=detail_view&item_num=72102&fcat=2C1A <br /><br />When I dropped the boat and control off at the shop, I mentioned that I was not interested in having separate trim and tilt switches, and I really didn't need a kill switch. My gun wales are almost 3 feet tall, and I boat on relatively small lakes, not much chance of getting thrown overboard. I asked them to wire the trim and tilt to the trim control and just put a jumper on the kill switch and zip tie it to the throttle cable.<br /><br />When the technician got ahold of it, he went ahead and installed the kill switch and trailer button himself. He did a great job of it, looks like it came that way from the factory. Oh well, too late to do anything about it now.
