The motor is a 2000 Evinrude E-TEC 90HP 2 Stroke. It's definitely not a binnacle mount throttle. The throttle body is about 1 1/2" wide and maybe 10" long. The neutral throttle control is a lever that lifts up on the top of the throttle body. The throttle handle is on the left side of the throttle body. It was easy to mount to the side of the console, but I'm right-handed and I definitely want to mount this on the console faceplate. Since I'm starting with a fresh faceplate I can just create a hole that will allow the top of the throttle body to protrude so I have access to the neutral throttle control lever. I'll hang a bracket on the back of the faceplate and use the existing holes in the throttle body to mount from the underside. Some cosmetic trim around the edge of the hole on top and I should be okay. It will look much closer to the OEM configuration that way.
