Re: Twist grip on RD-10

[opposedtwin]

Hello Russ, welcome.

The hole and the post mounted to the bypass cover are for remote hookups for the throttle. It is a pretty rare and early (after market) system that was somewhat complicated. It was quickly replaced when OMC
developed their own remote hookups. I have some pictures of what it looked like if you’re interested.

As for rotating the twist grip so the arrows line up better, yes it can be done. I will look in my manual to see if there are specifics about how to put it back together to line up correctly. Again, the cable was also quickly replaced by the tower system because it was a bit complicated and more vulnerable than the tower type system.

I would like to see more pics of that motor. RD-10 models are somewhat rare. Lots of 13s and higher but the 10s and 11s are few and far between.
