CUSTOMISABLE FOOT THROTTLE LAUNCHED

SeaStar Solutions has launched a foot throttle designed with an integrated slide which makes it easy to adjust the pedal position for different drivers.

The Pro-Pedal has a robust torsion spring and locking fasteners to improve both reliability and durability, plus a compact design which keeps the deck uncluttered and allows for more room around the pedal.

“Driving a high-performance boat at wide open throttle requires experience, skill and a sixth sense,” said David Wolfe, product and support manager for SeaStar Solutions. “SeaStar’s Pro-Pedal is a marked improvement in control that any boat driver, pro or amateur, will definitely appreciate.”

Adjustable

In use, the Pro-Pedal starts off at a comfortable but adjustable 12.5-degree forward angle, as opposed to a nearly vertical idle position found on competitive units, so the driver can place his or her foot in a more natural position at slower speeds or when idling.

The driver can set idle-to-WOT (Wide Open Throttle) travel on the Pro-Pedal to match their individual ergonomics. Whatever travel length is set, the Pro-Pedal will always provide optimal idle-to-WOT throttle control based on engine type.

A torsion spring built into the footplate can return the Pro-Pedal to idle speed position, practically eliminating the potential of a broken spring, said SeaStar Solutions. In addition, the Pro-Pedal uses self-locking fasteners which hold a tight fit and decrease the tendency of other fasteners to loosen when subjected to extreme vibration.
