David,
Sorry, but I have the basic setup with no remote controls on anything. I'm  a 
firm believer in the KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid) and I know that  
anything that can break or go wrong will at the least opportune moment. I know  
those are the kind of toys or necessary equipment many sailors strive for, but  
it's not for me. I have the basic 8 HP Tohatsu. No electric start or charging 
 coil. I always tie the motor off to something just in case I drop it, but I 
have  installed and removed it many times by myself. It's so easy to start 
that my  wife can even do it which is important for those occasions when I'm 
incapable of  handling the boat myself. (Translation- really drunk)
