Hey! I am completely new to this subject and thought of building a RIB boat. many interested in the comments I see .... I have found a used 20HP outboard of this model. I wonder: can I make sure I have a steering wheel and throttle. either hydraulically or with wire.?! also wondering if I can get the gear lever at the driver's seat. so: I want to be able to control everything from a Jockey seat .. hope you understand what I'm asking for and that you understand my poor English! :))
