Had a client that wanted to go in his boat to mark GPS trails and spots for a pre McDonalds trip. He had had knee replacement on his right leg. His hot foot was moved to the left side. Skeeter zx225. I drove the boat, took some getting used to, but really wasn't a problem. All he did was get a longer cable and grind off the tab.
Is that a Pro Max or 200XS you have on the back of your boat?

Just wear your kill switch at all times when motor is running and use your hand throttle. Same result. That's the best safety advice you'll get. Back when I was running tournaments for my club it was required that you demonstrate that your kill switch was working.

After taking my hot foot out I do have plenty leg room I don't have with it, I always wear my kill switch anytime the big motor is on, I think I will try a top mount, makes a lot of sense, I didn't realize there is such a hot foot out there, but plenty on Ebay by T & H Marine. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll let you,ll know how I like it.

check and make sure it will work for your application, like I said my johnson will not work with a top mount as it is a pull cable with that application and mine is a push type.
