Title: Throttle knob
Post by: Mike Harry on September 27, 2012, 10:08:54 AM

There has been alot of talk about shift knobs or throttle knobs on the forum. I am/was not at all happy with the one on the Barefoot, so I decided to try and do something about it. You can see my progress on my photobucket!

Thanks Joel for sending me a few of these horn buttons from the first reunion. Ive got other ideas for MY knob, and this is a test piece.

Just pointing fingers at myself so you know I know, yes there are air bubbles in the piece but I have the equipment to take care of that and this is only a test piece.........

A friend is machining the correct size insert for me, once I get the one done that is going on my boat Ill be sure to post pictures. Just thought this turned out pretty cool

(There are 7 pics, I think the 7th is the best)
