[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 396975, member: 15465"] I had thought of mounting throttle on steering stick but safety-wise decided that if I get startled in a tight spot, I might accidently squeeze the throttle while steering or vice versa. I also let my guests run the boat, they always get a kick out of it. I was hit by a boat once (in our ski boat, was just sitting in middle of river) & when it became apparent the other driver wasn't facing forward, I kinda panicked & couldn't even find the horn button. We just laid down & fortunately no one got hurt. My point is that accidents can happen really fast. The real problem is I am getting arthritis. I need to get away from the constant squeeze. [/QUOTE]
