I have a good friend who only has one leg, we put the MV-3 in his boat (jet) and he loves it...Look at the bottom at the options and they have a kit for the 4300 series cables..

Best way to go IMHO

Good luck!

My boat originally came with hand throttle, and last year I converted it to foot. What type of lever do you have? pics? I would be willing to trade.
It works the same as your forward/reverse lever, but both cables hook up to it. Ill post a pic of mine later today

I'm interested I don't have any pictures but I will try and get one in the next few days.. I'm tall and I don't feel like cutting my firewall to move the pedal.

firewall?


(bulkhead)  welcome to boating.  port is left and starboard is the other way.  haha. pretty soon you'll be talking about gunwale's and transoms.
I guess it could be a firewall if it where a crackbox!   LOL!
