[Rhodes22-list] HELP! How about a debate on.. WAS: A GREAT Email List

[L. Sailor]

Hi, Mark,

The problem lies in the fact that I do have the
wheel..so I need to get the controls where I can reach
them while steering. 

 Is what you have considered a remote control?

A fellow at the marina today mentioned that he also
has a Mercury which he really likes. They are one
dealer that I will visit tomorrow...stay tuned...

I just need a good primer on outboards....gonna get it
tomorrow....
