Does anyone know if they make anything like perfect pass for an outboard motor? <BR> <BR>Thanks <BR>P.F. Wakecrew

i dont know about an outboard, but i know you can for an I/O with throttle by cable, pretty much the same concept right? i dont see why you couldnt, email perfect pass, hey will have an answer for you pretty quickly

I think you could do it with some of the electronic throttle control models but I doubt there is space to add a servo if it's mechanical. I don't know if anyone has the interface to control the engines already built.

The new Optimax and verado Mercs will work with Mercurys GPS speed control <BR> <BR>There have been people that have used perfect pass on outboards

It can be done but Perfect Pass wont help you do it. <BR> <BR>What type of motor do you have <BR> <BR>PP has been installed on Yamaha 2.6 litre carby engines including 150Vmax and 200. Mercury 200EFI and 200 big block optimax. Evinrude E-TEC 225HO. <BR> <BR> <BR>What sort of boat do you have. <BR> <BR>I'm a perfect pass dealer in Australia and I've done outboards quite a few times.

I have a Yamaha 150 four stroke on a huricane fun deck.

Hi John <BR> <BR>I haven't done a Yamaha four stroke outboard before. If I had a photo of the engine with the cowling off showing the throttle at full throttle and at idle I may be able to suggest if it might work. <BR> <BR>Would you be prepared to dedicate 16 hours of playing around with the installation? Are you handy with tools and can make a few basic brackets etc? <BR> <BR>PP is awesome and works great on outboards but your installation will be a world first and it is harder on Yamahas in general because of the push throttle configuration. <BR> <BR>Greg
