Has anyone ever tried the Power Tiller??

Sometimes I miss a shift while controlling the speed and steering, because a Honda 5 has the lever so far back. Some electric motors have an integrated control-- as you twist the handle the motor slows, shifts to reverse, and speeds up, much like the one-handle diesel engine control on big yachts.

Hey Sal,
I love Hondas ...great motors. I have found my Yamaha to be just as reliable ,though, and it has one very cool feature. Then shift lever is on the tiller/throttle mechanism. VERY nice to be able throttle and shift with the same hand without turning around backwards to reach the other side of the motor to shift...especially when docking.....just food for thought. :-) Not sure if the 5hp are the same way or not.
