Throttle lever out of the way.
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:16 am
Hi to all:
The following is something that has been recently implemented by my friend Mats Wik who has been living aboard Taifun (Ballad #911) for the last eight years. Currently in Greece, Mats has embarked on a number of major projects on his boat. I often joke with him that his Ballad must be the most un-original Ballad in existence but this is an improvement that made sense. His fiberglassing skills are beyond reproach and he even managed to order a two-part polyurethane acrylic paint that matched his gelcoat exactly (or as close as one could possibly get). More importantly, the throttle lever will never be kicked again by accident. The photos should be self-explanatory but let me know if you have any questions or comments.
