Post subject: | longtail throttle modifications |
Hey guys. I'm new to the site and glad to be here. Been browseing for a long time looking for a mudmotor to buy. I finally found one, picked up a 2006 31hp beavertail and now I have a question. The throttle is very hard to run. I almost need both hands, 1 to run the throttle and the other to steer because I can't push the throttle to full throttle and steer at the same time. I'm thinking of changing the throttle to something like the Surface drives have. Has anyone done this? |

Awesome, thanks guys. I will check into it and see what I can do. I bet the brake lever will work great. |

Personaly, I would stay with the stock throttle on an LT. It just takes getting used to but it's not hard to operate the throttle and steer at the same time. The screw in the middle of the control may need adjustment and/or lube. |

This is what I used. I took a 1 in hole saw and made the bracket bigger for the handle. |
