It is a 1988 19 foot Almar welded Aluminum jet boat with a 175 hp Kodiak (Ford 302) and Hamilton clone pump.
I just added a new 20 hp tiller Tohatsu kicker for trolling, or emergency get back to the dock if trouble strikes. The kicker is mounted almost a foot behind the transom and the operator has to reach through a handrail to the controls. It is uncomfortable to run, to say the least.
I want to add wireless remote steering and throttle control.
I have been researching the "Powertran Python remote kicker steer".
But links appear to be old and my E-mail was not answered. Possibly out of business?
Any suggestions?

How much is the wireless? $$$?
could you rig up a lever steer like panfish boats have?

Thanks. The only links I had previously found were to Python in Canada. And seemed to be inactive. I would guess that this Tailfin is the same system, but under new ownership. I will get in contact with them this week and see what they can do for me.
