Re: [electricboats] Curtis Throttle housing/lever?

You can also reach out directly to Thunderstruck.  They have an adapter for the ET-134.  It's plastic, so not sure about weather resistance, and it's expensive at $35, but you don't have to do any work, and it fits directly. It's called an ET Actuator, if you're ordering one.

I just bought one to ship with my ET-134.  More expensive than jerry-rigging my own, but...

I mounted it below and made a linkage to connect my old Atomic 4 shift lever to the new throttle. It never occurred to me that someone might mount it directly in the cockpit.  I used the shift lever because it was easier to reach, had it's own detent, and has a removable handle.

Has anyone built a proper housing for the Curtis 134 throttle from the Thunderstruck kit?

It's on my list as currently I'm just using a little mounting bracket to hold it near the helm and a little 8mm socket to turn the shaft forward and reverse. The whole thing is exposed to the weather so I disconnect it when not in use snd stow it.  Time to build a weather proof housing and handle.

I realized I don't know how to punch a square hole in steel. I guess that's a job for a CnC machine. What have you guys done for the housing and throttle lever?
