[QUOTE="surfman, post: 336632, member: 7404"] I made mine using 2” PVC to fit over the motor throttle, I drilled holes and cut slots like was mentioned above. I then reduced it down using a coupler and a bushing to 1” for the handle. Be careful, on my motor which is a newer Yamaha 20 - 4s I ended up breaking off the throttle handle because of the way the motor handle is made. I needed to have the 2” PVC go all the way to the base of the motor handle. The motor handle is plastic with a rubber flexing section and then a heavy metal piece molded into the end to reduce vibration. The extra leverage was too much for the flex part. I did not have the PVC go all the way to the base. I fixed that now and it is working fine so far. [/QUOTE]
