My 94 Fountain 32 Fever has the shfiters on the outsides and both throttles in the middle. Does anyone know if the configuration can be switched, like all other boats- throttles on one side and shifters on the other. If so how hard and how to do it?

I know the boat is new to me and I've tried docking with one in neutral. Maybe I'll get used to it but right now don't like it. How hard is it to change them?
I'm not planning on spending on a new dash and new cables.

That person is a spammer. They embed pictures in their posts which OSO blocks. Don't worry about it. I don't even think they would know English.

I did it on the same exact boat...Easy to do at the dash, I had to adjust neutral on one of the shifters, but I also switch my props to spinning out, so I had to wrangle the cables around a little more. I put the shifters on the left, throttles on the right.

done it to a few of my boats as well,,,this time I left the shifters on the outside and throttles in the middle for safety reasons,,ever try backing up with the shifters in reverse and while you are looking back you go to shift into forward and accidentlly grab the throttles? been there done that and scared the $hit out of me

So did you just unbolt the assembly at the dash and pull them out and then figure out the disassembly? I'm game but don't want to just start unbolting things and pulling them apart without some understanding.
