Make sure you have a couple of return springs on that design of slide throttle.

Is the steering wheel not obstructing your view of the gauges like that?

Ah cool, probably the angle of the photo then.
You're making a proper job of it that's for sure. Nice to see care being taken, too many boats get thrown together.

Many Thanks!!
To Rich, Lloyde and Steffy.....for the invite to the maiden voyage and ultimately my first ride in a Phantom 25 ....... (Despite owning one for the past 3 1/3 years  ).
Well! To say I was well impressed just doesn't do you guys justice.
She looked amazing and sounded awesome.
You guys have done a brilliant job.
Hats off to you all!
Steve
