HOT FOOT QUESTION

[MUSKIE08]

I JUST PURCHASED A NEW 07 ZX190 I WAS GOING TO INSTALL A HOT FOOT. MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A HOT FOOT THAT WILL LET YOU USE BOTH THE PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE. OR IS THE THROTTLE USELESS AFTER IT IS INSTALL. ALSO HOW HARD ARE THEY TO INSTALL. IM A AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC SO I HAVE PLENTY OF TOOLS AND MECHANICAL KNOW HOW. THANKS FOR ANY HELP IT IS MY FIRST BOAT.

I don't know of a hotfoot that you can use the throttle handle as well. Most hotfoots(hotfeet? ) control the throttle while the shifter is used for shifting only.

They are very easy to install. Just make sure you buy an extra throttle cable that is at least 2 feet longer than the existing one in the boat. I'm assuming you have a Yamaha so maybe the guys in the Yamaha forum have instructions on how to do it....otherwise, you'll find instruction in the Mercury forum, which I used.
I'm sure someone here will chime in

Also make sure you don't run the screws through the hull during installation. This has happened many times.

and most don't know it because it's where the bunk is so they don't see it

Several postings on companies that sell a dual action hot foot

I have asked that question before, because I like to troll with my boat. Someone on here told me that there is a hot foot that you can use either way, I can't think of the name of it right off hand. I will try to find it and post.

Can someone explain how you change the In-control unit from foot operation to hand control? Is there some adjustment you need to make or are they both live all the time?
