A couple months ago I bought a 2008 8 hp four stroke for use as a trolling motor. It has been a good motor, smooth and quiet, however having to go back the motor to adjust the throttle every time the wind picks up is tiresome (poor baby, I know). I have an E Z steer assembly for steering it but am lacking any info on a remote throttle. I have searched online but could not find anything. Does anyone out there have a clue as to where I could find out more?

I have a 1990 18' Marlin 188 cuddy, fyi...

On an unrelated topic, what happened to Marlin boats? Were they bought out or did they go bankrupt?

Any Mercury dealer will be able to help you with the parts needed for conversion to remote.
