Help with throttles
My question: The throttle control says "Electronic Diesel Control" but when I asked the broker he said that it was just cable operated (mechanical) and not electronic. So is this Volvo Penta throttle able to be setup as both an electronic version as well as a mechanical version? I read in the manual that the dual helm came equipped with an electronic throttles but this boat only has an upper helm on the flybridge.
I have scoured online looking for a photo of another similar year model 396 with Cummins engines AND a Volvo Penta throttle but have not seen that combo anywhere else. Anyone else have a similar setup?
Thanks for any help!!
Updating to include a photo of the integrated throttle/gear shifter on the boat (i.e. single lever controls).

Re: Help with throttles
I'm definitely not looking to sink that kind of money into electronic throttles - I had no idea it would be that expensive! Cables sound good to me! I just couldn't figure out why Carver used the Volvo Penta throttles with the Cummins engines. Carver must have had some of these on a shelf that needed to get used up!
Thanks again!
