I am looking to convert my foot throttle to a hand throttle. Can anyone help me out in locating one. The shifter will stay on the steering column. Thanks ------------- Jim in WI |

Jim, what boat do you have? I ran my foot throttle in the '63 for one summer, then built a very crude hand throttle myself, ugly but still working over 30 years later. I did it because I couldn't adjust speed for skiing with the heel/toe foot throttle, in chop it was too hard to control it. It should be very easy to find a throttle that will work since you aren't going to shift with it, but where will you mount it? ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

| I really like the foot throttle. You can probably use an old MV1. |

| I wouldn't change it, but if you do, there are morse throttles available. I have seen at least one late 60s cc set up with one in addition to the dash shifter. I would not go with a morse control if you are ok with keeping the shifter as is. |

I listed this on ebay. It's a neat old control, but I like the foot throttle a lot better. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261626674241?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.com/itm/261626674241?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 |

I've got a MV1 in good condition that could help with your conversion. http://s897.photobucket.com/user/Devroude1/media/imagejpg6_zpsfffe5310.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  John ------------- Old school goin back to school! |

I thought in previous posts he was missing the foot throttle. Since he has a floor shift maybe a morse single lever control might be best. There was one in 62 woods first mustang he parted ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I just bought a NOS Morris control. I plan on manufacturing a wood mount to mount the control on the side of the hull below the gunnel. Keeping it out a little from the hull will allow me to mount with a few pan head screws through the hull. The boat is plywood by the way. 1962 Tournament skier. ------------- Jim in WI |
