Anybody running a twist throttle in the trees? If so how do you like it? |

Twist grip or thumb control? This sounds like a sorority debate on how to give handjobs in the library. And I'm good with either. |

All the guys in Arkansas running timber with outboards use twist throttles so I've heard... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

True but they aren't fighting a 27" out drive either. I was wondering about the twist throttle and all the tiller torque. I didn't think it would be too bad. Just wondering why I don't see more mud motors with it besides pro drive. |

Yep I already talked to him about his. We hunt the same general areas. I think I'm gonna figure out a way to get one on my gator tail. If I don't like it I've always got the bps. |

True, I'm too use to a lever style throttle. |

I don't feel like I have enough fingers on the handle with the bps. If it was turned around the other way like a clutch lever it would be the shit lol |

For one I can keep a closed hand on it. Several times last year I bumped hard into trees because the tiller pulled out of my hand be I was only about a quarter throttle so my hand was pretty much open. Don't exactly have a death grip with my ring and pinky finger. Also I figure it's gotta be more comfortable than the bps on long runs. When it warms up I'll get to fabricating and post a review. Right now I'm waiting for the roads to thaw so I can ship my 32" out drive to Texas. |

If some of you can't handle a twist grip on a mud motor, what do you have on you vehicles? Do you have to change you foot pedal to a hand throttle just because you travel on bumpy roads? Looks like some should not have a mud motor at all. After all if you are still using a foot pedal for gas in your vehicle, your foot will bounce on a rough road.

 You're right, when I'm steering with the foot pedal in my truck things get a little rough.

I like the twist better because you can grab it from any angle. I dont like how the squeeze throttle is in a fixed position so whether your sitting or standing you have to adjust for it. The twist is a good rev limiter on the PD also, if you hold it right and hit a stump, as the handle goes down, you'll naturally roll off the throttle and when it comes back up, you're back in it again. Never had an issue running timber or trails. |

And flint I seriously considered that. But I figured with my luck I'd either fall trying to feather the throttle or some shit would end up on top of it. |

I'd feel like I was driving a runaway Prius. It sucks be you can't let off the gas but in reality you're only doing like 30-35 anyway so....no big deal right? Lol |

Mine never gave me any trouble in the woods, but I prefer a lever style throttle |
