Anyone out there fabricates their own foot throttle control? Care to share your design, pictures and challenges.

hey mate, depending on your resources etc they are cheap to buy, a hot foot by TH marine is one of the best, i have used one for ages and its a really strong and firm feeling, they retail for about 100.00 us

Try an inboard shop as well depending where you live
they will have foot override for cav plates plus foot throttles some might even be designed for cables?

I think I would be trying to make it from carbon these days.
Revolution does a carbon one I think.
here's a few

Good point! A carbon one would be a nice addition to a go-fast boat!
