Changing the throttle position
« on: May 13 2020, 21:10 »
We are taking over a Bavaria 41 cruiser in Greece later this year and are not keen on the floor position of the throttle . We are getting older with the usual neck problems and find it difficult to use especially in reverse when berthing . We much prefer the throttle on the binnacle where we can stand up and steer and control the speed .
We have been told that we cannot retrofit the throttle onto the binnacle in a different position. Has anyone solved this problem?

It would help if there was an extension device that could make the throttle handle longer so that you could see all round the boat and reach the throttle- does such a thing exist?
Has anyone got experience of a remote control throttle that could potentially be a solution?
Thanks for some advice
