Send a message via AIM to Burty
Send Jon Fuller or Tony Davis a PM as they both should be able to help you out with a Salmon one

We are fans of the incontrol ones - I know Jon has one on his Phantom and the V24's made by Pascoes have them as well as a number of other boats - Virtually Insane's 21 has one as well.

I've had one for eight years or more, no problems what-so-ever. Even still looks like new.
They are a "pull" to open, but can be adapted to "push", eazy pezzy.

Buy the way peeps ,,,, I heard that they were no longer available?
I know they are still on the "interweb" but maybe not from the usual outlets.

In Control foot pedal

I run one in my Honda Race boat - it is very good.
They are still available as I spoke with In-Control only today, and they told me to go to Diamondperformance marine - speak to Marti - they are in Florida, but will ship to UK, cant accept Non US credit cards for payment, but they can accept paypal. _ i think they are about $280 USD - ps. get a spare cable...

The In-Control assy is the absolute bollox!

I have a slightly modified one in my 28. It accepts a 33C cable as you can see in this pic.

My next boat will deffo be having one, in fact, I'm picking one up in Miami next month to ferret away for that time.

Oh you will definately be seeing purple in your visor - nothing to do with the foot throttle - more the teaspoon of anti-matter spinkled sparingly on the hull

I make up stainless cables they last much better than the coated steel ones they come with
