| Clutch location
Actually, I prefer them in that location. When backing down or docking into my slip, I'm facing the stern with my hands on clutches. It's sort of pre-pod design. The only problem, is adjusting the throttles while facing the stern. But, for backing into a slip at idle, it's the ideal design for me.
The single lever (clutch and throttle) design now on the pods, takes some getting used too. I was told the delay in the response could get you in big trouble at the fuel dock or backing into you slip.
I made the dinette (1" marine plywood). Had the foam cut to size at the Efoamstore in Wilkes Barre, PA. The foam was only $258. Getting the foam covered was the wallet buster, $1500. But the job did turn out like I wanted it.
