[Rhodes22-list] Poll-- What motor have you bought new and how equipped

[Lou Rosenberg]

I have the Tohatsu 8 / 4stroke / alternator / pull start option with  
a 20" shaft

I bought the Tohatsu Remote for it which is a single heavy duty  
plastic and metal single lever which
controls shift and throttle.   I was going to use Mary Lou's concept  
of mounting it using the recessed table mount, but instead I used
2 large 1" wide standard shelf mounts from LOWES which have plastic  
covers for the metal.  I reinforced the lazarette on both sides of the
brackets with 1/2" plywood and it works fine.  I can send you close  
up pictures later as they are not on my work computer.

I love the placement of the remote as I can easily adjust throttle  
and shift in any position.  I put the remote  at the aft end of my  
cockpit floor just
to the port side of the table mount, so its slightly off center to be  
exact.  The control cables are run through the laz and out the  
transom.  I did not feel up to
taking apart the motor as it was new so I had an authorized dealer do  
it for me.  I did the installation to the motor as well as all my  
motor mount work.

The controls end up being right under the tiller anyway and I almost  
went for the PowerTiller but didn't want all that  extra gear on my  
tiller.
Im a salt water boater so if that means anything.

good luck
let me know if you want to see  the remote pix
