Boating Basics - Boat Shifters and Throttles

Описание: I get a surprisingly large number of folks asking me why we have/what are the four shifters on the boat? So here's an overview of how our twin engine setup is equipped with two shifters - one for each engine - and two throttles - again, one for each engine.

Given the fact that the power plants are matted to vee-drive (inboard) setup, it makes steering in close quarters and general maneuvering a breeze. Handling this boat is an absolute pleasure and a huge stress reducer when docking or going through the locks.

Known as the best fresh water cruising grounds in the world, Georgian Bay is located in the heart of the Great Lakes and forms part of Lake Huron. Renowned for is rugged beauty, Georgian Bay has been attracting adventurous boaters for over a century, but it's rocky shoreline and challenging navigation routes are not for the faint hearted and must be approached with the greatest care and respect. I'm happy to share our own adventures through this inspiring area with my 'Georgian Bay Boating' Playlist here:    • Georgian Bay Boating
