David, Sorry, but I have the basic setup with no remote controls on anything. I'm a firm believer in the KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid) and I know that anything that can break or go wrong will at the least opportune moment. I know those are the kind of toys or necessary equipment many sailors strive for, but it's not for me. I have the basic 8 HP Tohatsu. No electric start or charging coil. I always tie the motor off to something just in case I drop it, but I have installed and removed it many times by myself. It's so easy to start that my wife can even do it which is important for those occasions when I'm incapable of handling the boat myself. (Translation- really drunk) RummySee the original archive post
