All, Just shipped in my new boat and got it today. 2002 Nitro 901CDX with 200hp Mercury EFI.
It has a Fast Foot Throttle already installed. I was wondering if there is a way to set is up to use the hand throttle with this as well. The reason being is that I am 6'6" and its a tight fit for my knees to get under the dash to use the Fast Foot for short, slower runs.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I'll have to do some research, but in the past there was a Hot Foot available that would use both controls. I don't remember if it was a T&H unit or made by some one else.
There was one made by "In Control Equipment" a few years back.... never heard any reviews of the unit, and now the company has closed their doors according to a qoogle search
I don't see any way possible that it would work on both.
I think the new secret color is "A-Rig"..........

seems like I saw one a few years ago that would work either way...I think it was a TH

you might be able to move it forward to fit you...is there clearance between the pedal ( when fully depressed) and the console ? if so.......
I have a t-h hot foot and ive got mine set up to where if the hot foot cable so happens to break, all I have to do is lift the cowling off and hook up the origional hand throttle cable and keep going.

OK ... here's your answer ............................
T&H Marine Supply DID make one. The pedal had an arm that housed a cable that hooked to the "other" throttle cable inside the original control box (or something like that). If you're dead set on this, I'd just call T&H and ask if you could speak to Mr. Huntley. If there's one lying around there somewhere, he might fix you up.
The other supplier was Land & Sea. They had a similar design. I'm not sure if they are still available or not.
Anyway ... maybe that helps.
In Control is the one I have. It does work with both, but I do not have the hand throttle connected right now because I can't get the control box out far enough to remove the original cable yet.
If ya try the link below, maybe the people they say to contact can help you. I don't know if they took over or not. It is a nice unit tho, but pricey.

Lou, don't you make an adjustable plate for hot foots???
Company called Land & Sea use to make them several years back, they also made the first prop that would change pitch as you accelerated.
Your local oreillys can order land and sea products
Got one in my boat, the hand throttle is a little stiffer but other than that it works. I'll go out in the morning and get the brand.
Yep it's a land & sea.
