We quit our recent Champlain-Erie Canals cruise early when we crashed into a closed gate at Champlain Lock #1 due to not being able to counter a light wind moving us toward the Lock.
A competent Mechanic at nearby Lock 1 Marina adjusted the shift cables but each time we attempted to leave the marina, our boat work just well enough to push away from the pier, then fail to shift, or the MD17C engine would quit.
An Albin-25 we met at Lake Ticonderoga had been retrofitted with separate levers for transmission and throttle instead of an integrated single-lever control, which the owner like a lot. Any thoughts about that here?
