Looks like no slow river or lake cruising for you then Ray. Time to pin the ears back in retirement and plant the foot hey!

looks like a great idea - making the system fail safe is the difficult part. something boat speed related should work.
pics would be good

Just thinking Ray, I hope there's no way the bung system could jam up and hold the throttle on. It'd be a touch interesting coming into shore if it does. Looking forward to catching up at Eagle Point and finally seeing this boat. 8-)

Checked for sticking, bungs are tapered and slide back and forward smoothly. I'm hoping to give it an on water trial on tuesday.

You will have to keep her well tuned now Ray, no more pumping the accelerator to get her to start or you will sink !

I'll have you know Ronda is very clean inside.....except for all the bloody flaking clear coat. And it's a red motor, aren't they the ducks nuts!!!!!
