Thanks for the reply. I imagine that I could. Using an existing wire is the goal for now. I'm doing an electrical upgrade this winter (adding a stereo and touchscreen interface to run the systems) and will do some testing for the correct wire then.

Thanks. We actually started with the stronger spring and changed to the lighter. No idle issues yet (only one day of testing). Thanks. Yeah, we have a Smartcraft gauge. So finding the info has proven challenging. According to the wiring diagram I have, there should be a grey wire in the cowling area that provides a tach signal. I’m gonna see if I can track it down next time.

@VONMAN Thanks again for the help. I'm using a Smartcraft gauge, which seems to lack the tach wire from what I can find. If you know different, any help is appreciated. Looks like I used the same brass arm as you. I had to trim the hinge bolt for it by 2mm to clear the throttle cable end. I also printed a cup for the servo motor to sit in and used high temp silicone to attach it to the lower cowl. This provides quite a bit of support for the servo from below in addition to the zip ties that stabilize it on the top. Install pics: Boat:

Thanks @VONMAN. My installation is mostly complete. Just have to install the silicone mat and figure out where the RPM wire comes off the motor. Any ideas on the RPM wire? Would love to tap it off of the harness inside the boat, but the PP docs and what I've found so far don't seem to support that type of install. I'll upload pics and notes after the install is finished.

From the Perfect Pass videos, it looks like that brass L-bracket might be included with the kit. Are you able to have the RPM show on the display as well? I saw the "Engine Settings" page in one of their videos, but haven't found what data is set there.

@VONMAN Thanks a ton for the pics. Looks like your throttle arm is identical to mine. Is the L-bracket you used an off-the-shelf part? Same question for the spring. Thanks!!!

@DangerBoy and @VONMAN I've got a Mercury Optimax 200 on a Centurion Falcon Barefoot that I'd like to add a speed control to. Attached are some pics of the throttle connection and total travel is ~55mm. I'm open to either Perfect Pass or Steady Pass, just want one that will work. Any suggestion/guidance is welcome. Thanks.
