[Rhodes22-list] Re mote Controls for the Tohatsu - Reply to Bill, et al.

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bill, 
I haven't seen any of the control boxes except those from the West catalog.  The dual handled sailboat unit looks nice, but pricey, and might get tangled with feet if attached to the front of the laz.  I'm really interested in what your choice will be, especially where you mount it.  
Art
