Default Re: Still a work in progress but functional

Mike,
My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your dad.

I like the wheel on the side, but I want to do something with the throttle binnacle. It’s a right hand model mounted on the wrong side and it gets in the way of the glove box cover. I could get a left hand version, but lately I’ve been thinking that the Morse Control type would be neat. The problem is how to address the engine trim switch.
Anyone have any ideas?

Roger thank you for the condolences. Don't have a solution for the TnT but I am a serious fan of the Morse system. Still can't get over the condition of your MA. Had I not removed the original bow rail already, I know what I'd be doing tomorrow! I like the way she looks just sitting on the trailer! Part II standing by.

I was thinking about the Morse controls too. Right now I have the trim switch on the console. It is not very accesible, but that is houw it was when I bought it. Now that I have to redo all the elcetronics from the sinking, I am trying to think of a few ways to make it better.

The Boat really looks Saaweet!
Just a thought, but maybe you could move the trim tab switch down next to the key switch and just slide the shift mount over to the right just a hair so you could open and close the glove box without interferance

I know my console is larger but ScottM also questioned me about the left hand trim button but I have had it so long it's second nature now using my middle finger to control, it's really no big deal

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The control issue is really more about esthetics, and you've given me some things to think about.

Chuck - which lexan panel moves or flips so you access your switches and which way does it flip?

All the lexan panels slide either left or right and by-pass each other. The switches are below the wheel. Confused yet



BTW I owe you this--->

Actually, when I questioned the control placement, Chuck gave ME the middle finger!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Vezo, sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sure he's upstairs running around in that sweet Jersey skiff. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No jackbutt, the SWEETCHEZ, the Lexan on the Stinkin' SWEETCHEZ... I see the switches below the wheel and you have 2 lexan panels around them, so how do you get your chubby little fingers in there to adjust them??

I Fart in your general direction
