Replace two handle Gaffrig control with single handle?
 
My boat has the two lever control pictured below. Does anyone know of a single handle control that could replace it (a single handle that does both shifting and throttle)? My wife has a hard time with the two handle set up so I'd like to swap it if possible. Checked the Gaffrig site but couldn't find anything.

THere are tons of them... however if your wife is having a hard time with what you have, odds are she will be really dangerous with the other style., as she will undoubtedly shift AND punch it at the same time. The reason we use the speperate setup is because it gives much better control.

Our other boat has a single handle and she has no issue with it, she just prefers the single and I'm fine with either one in a single engine, average performance application. Honestly on many of these boats the separate shifter and throttle is a personal preference, not a safety issue. Who hasn't seen someone crash into a dock with separate controls? LOL

I'm really hoping for a single handle that will drop into the current hole and connect to the same cables. Can't find one that will work for certain.

if she has issues with 2 levers, she needs to stay in the other seat...
