Got a bradnew hot foot throttle for the sidewinder when i got it, but the eayvthe floor is it would have to be setup for your left foot not the right. Ive never drive a boat with a foot throttle let alone set up for a lefty haha how sketchy is this set up lol

Most race boats used to be set up this way. The reason was, on a race course you want to use your right foot to brace with when you turn left, drivers have better control if they can modulate the throttle with their left foot while bracing for the turn with their right. It takes about five minutes to get used to and then you don't even notice it.

I just glassed in a block in the charger so I could still use the right foot and keep it out of the way, but like the guys have said the left foot is not a problem either
