What would happen to my Velvet Drives?
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:51 pm
One feature about my 11 Meter helm I dislike is how "close my Morse Shifters are to the cabin entryway handrail"
I'm cruising this weekend with 8 people onboard at 19 Knots and all I kept thinking was someone stumbling while reaching for the handrail and shifting me into reverse at 3800 rpm.
Would it even engage into reverse at high RPMS ?? or would I have time to react ?
Any Velvet drive experts have any thoughts?
Anyhow, it's something thats always bugged me and I'm sure not going to test my theory !!
Boat is running awesome though !
Thanks

Heck I might even secure the shift controls to an eye clip, then un-clip when needed.. It's better than the stress it causes...!
