Re: Dual Helm Control Throttle Position Question
As Bud said.
In a cable type system, the controls are essentially tied together so to speak. How that's done depends on the controls, application, and manufacturer. Some have a set of throttle/shift cables going from the bridge to the lower station controls, then a second set going from the lower station controls to the engine/tranny. The other method is a separate set of cable going directly from each helm right to the engine/tranny without a set going from one station to the other. Either way, when you move a throttle or shift cable at one station, the lever at the other station will move at the same time. If it doesn't, a cable is broken or disconnected. The only applications this type of operation differs is if you have hydraulic or fly-by-wire throttle and shift.

I see the captain is doing the delegating and getting the First Mate to do all the hard work
