Helm control replacemens
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2017 1:52 am
Hey again everyone!
I need to replace the original throttle/transmission controls on my 73 F32. The cast body of the mechanism is cracked on two of them. Not sure if everyone's is the same, but I have 4 single action levers: port transmission, port/stbd throttles (tandem control), and stbd transmission.
I'm planning to keep the same configuration. However, I'm finding a wider variety of dual action controls (throttle/transmission combined) for nearly the same price as the single action ones. If I just connect my control cables to dual action controls in the same configuration as the current single action ones, is that going to work? I'm not talking about converting anything, just substituting control types.
Thanks!
