I found this engine quadrant made by Victory up in Canada at a great price. It is of good quality and I would recommend it to every one.

This is how the unit came in the package. Notice the flange is flat which means I have to make a fitting to compensate for the curve of the helm column .
|
So I turned to my trusty 3D printer and made these flanges. One for the inside and one for the outside.

All done and fitted to the control assembly. Next step will be mount it on the helm pedestal in Anacortes.
|
Side note: The shim was no good in the shifter lever. Once I mounted it, it was too loose. Took it all apart and made a shim out of a Coors Light can and put'er back together.
Took all day but here it is mounted only, not connected with cables yet. |

Did you happen to notice that the assholes who put this control system together have the colored balls on the wrong levers.
I made the mistake of not checking this before I mounted it. The short lever is supposed to be the throttle (red) so its movement doesn't interfere with the helm wheel.
Shit, now I need to take it all apart again and reconfigure it. Corrected picture to follow.

10-Aug-21 All done in what we might call the "right way". Cabling to be added in the fall.
