Some time ago saw an episode of Waterworld on Sky where a guy had made a gear shift/throttle control for his narrow boat to assist him single handed going through locks using simple RC servos etc to operate the throttle control. I am looking at making up something similar for my EVC single throttle that would just clip over the top of lever when req'd. This would be used by me when I am on wireless auto pilot up on the flybridge to adjust speed via a rc control box.(Of course in safe open water) I would never do what the guy on the show done and jump off his boat and control it from the shore! Has anyone ever built something similar and how well did it work? Or anyone point me somewhere on the net where I can find ideas please.
