Why should I not just tape my throttles together....WTF Throttlesync

Wanna sell it?

Spouse sales can be found in the classifieds section.

Wayyy of track with this post

Here, waaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than the Throttlesync, or another wife!!! 8” of 1 1/4” PVC, cut and smoothed. Less than $1.

Nice mod @Dixie Highway. It’s interesting to hear how people want a single throttle since the original yamis didn’t have the ability to control the gates separately on the twin engines and some people went as far as spending $1000 on custom throttles that would provide this function. Now some of us are trying to tie the throttles together.

Honestly I use it strictly for cruising. Once I approach a docking, anchor, or other precision maneuver I pop that thing off for independent throttle control.

That’s quite brilliant, actually!
You could be marketing those as ThrottleSync2.0 for a low, low price of $150. Lol.
In the meantime I’m stealing your idea, before you have a chance to patent it!

I hardly ever split throttles but most definitely like to have the option and not want to loose the independent binnacles. Use RideSteady for the real (electronic) sync.

To be honest if there was an aftermarket device I could have purchased I would have dropped the $150 on it. I’d love the Ridesteady, but would likely only use the throttle sync portion never the cruise control, so I have a hard time justifying the price. I don’t plan to patent this awesome device, so by all means please use it. Unfortunately I don’t have dimensions, it was a trial and error process. Necessity is the mother of invention....

I have had dual engines in my home for 25 years...I don't fully understand the need to physically sync them. I generally interact with the throttles very little, compared to how long I'm on the boat, and when I do I always adjust RPMs to sync, so I need and want them to be disconnected so I can fine tune to the exact match across both engines. What am I missing that makes this such a need? Why not just grab both horns towards the middle and push both together?

Because then you spend some time paying attention to syncing the rpms that would be better spent watching the water ahead, when they’re somewhat synced from the jump it’s much quicker to get them spot on. Personal preference I’d say.

Definitely trying this in the Spring!

It comes in handy with guest captains.
Just one less thing to worry about.

I got a text from someone a few days ago looking for the throttle sync I made years ago. Since the 3d printers are getting so popular now. I attached the files here. these were for my 2009 212x. Not sure if throttles have changed at all over the years. The file is Native Creo if anyone wants the master to edit

The 2018 and up throttles are different. Hence the lack of JBP parts for the new one.
