Looking to see if anyone knows a place around Austin that sells used controls. Fat Dad just e-mailed and said the port shifter is striped so we need to replace it and new ones seem to run anywhere from 275-600 bucks. I am just going to replace the whole control. But the good news is that both motors are running good now. 1 Step closer to the water

eBay is a great idea. Try to stay with teleflex or morse. Avoid the cheap crap.

Hopefully it's reasonable quality. I'm definitely finding quality is worth paying for in regards to anything on the water so you don't have to buy it twice (or more).

I agree on the quality but for now we are more trying to get it water ready then start to upgrade once we know all the little things are finished.
