I wouldn't be put off by left hand throttles. How many. fountains out there and do owners get used to it? Yes!
How do you manage driving a car with a manual shift at your right hand? No problems. What about the millions who drive on the left side of the road and have a manual shift at their left hand? It just comes natural and I'm sure you can adapt.

Good luck lefty/righty.

Edit: spelling, damn I-pad corrected "shift" into a naughty word and it got edited!! Lol.

I agree. I've driven a Fountain a few times prior to buying mine and the whole left/right throttle is mostly in your head. Once you get behind the controls and you figure out pushing forward with your left hand makes happy times, all the left hand throttle anxiety goes away.

Seriously though it wasn't a big deal after about 10 mins.
