| Dual helm stations, dual control heads for dual engines I am building a motor/sailing cat, with inboard diesels. The helm locations are at 11m and 4.5m from each engine and the engines are greater than 6m apart (all by cable route). I wish to have one dual lever control head at each helm and have not dealt with bowden controls in a dual station system before. My searches for information about how the different brand types of exchangers/transfers/dual station units work in a system has only come up with high level schematics. I suppose drawings will be available once I purchase a unit or four but this may mean a choice not suitable for the spaces I have available. I would greatly appreciate some information or direction to a net source I have not been able to find.

| go electric (cable systems are disappearing) or Morse Twin SR would be the most common dual entry duel control in the world if you want 4 levers ( never give problems) Single lever dual station are problematic as you need a slave box to disconnect the other station automatically..always gives problems and can cause you to loose control of gear and throttle. http://www.teleflexmarine.com/librar...l%20Manual.pdf
