I have x model boat with x model engine. Will Ridesteady work on my boat?

The compatibility requirements for the Ridesteady speed control system are:

• Your boat / engine config must be an inboard (direct-drive), V-drive, or I/O (stern-drive).
• Your instrument panel must use the standard 3.5" gauges for the Ridesteady display / control panel to fit.
• The throttle must be "pull-to-accelerate" mechanically-actuated. This means that a physical cable connects the driver throttle lever to the throttle arm on the engine. When the driver throttle lever is pushed down, the throttle cable should pull-in on the engine side. Most boats prior to 2006 had mechanically-actuated throttles (note that some older OMC engines are "push-to-accelerate" and thus require a new throttle lever and re-configuration at the carburetor to be converted to a pull-throttle). Some high-end boats from 2006-on have "throttle-by-wire". Ridesteady is not compatible with "throttle-by-wire" engines.

We suggest you take a look at the installation and operation guide to understand the installation requirements. We're here to help with any questions or concerns you may have.
