The Hand Controller comes equipped with approximately 18 feet
of cable and is designed to be installed at or near the driver’s seat.

Controller to any smooth surface. This allows you to remove the
Hand Controller and operate it from anywhere in the boat. The
controller, for example, can be mounted on or near the dash
board, placed by the throttle control for the main engine or on the
side of the driver’s seat. Be sure the surface where you are going to mount the controller is clean and dry.
