[QUOTE="Yakfoot, post: 391457, member: 19327"] This is my first post and since I have only ridden in a few powered boats before I have to keep telling myself that everyone is born ignorant. However, I dislike being in that situation. I have almost zero experience with tiller controls but I have a 1995 Johnson which I am going to have to replace. The throttle is a design where you turn the throttle against a fairly strong spring which will snap the motor back to idle speed the instant you release your grip. My perhaps faulty impression is that most tiller controls did not do that but would have to be turned back to idle speed manually. So, if you were at half throttle and fell out of the boat the boat was long gone or maybe circling back to eat you. Now for the question. What is the correct terminology to describe the two types of tiller throttles (provided there are two)? [/QUOTE]
