I am wanting to set up 2 control systems on our boat. one set for kicker and one for main. however there is only a spot for one set.so i was curious to see what others have done to get two sets in there?

Jake I am not sure exactly what you mean, but the set up I have is a Yamaha 115 main and a tillerless yamaha 9.9 kicker. I have a dual binicale control at the helm for both throttle and shift on both engines and than have a ss tie bar at the engines so I can steer at the helm. Works good for me.

A simple and cheap option for your controls is a trolling bar attached from your main to the kicker and an electronic throttle control for your kicker. Smile

Another option often used for some fishermen would be to put the controls for the smaller motor back on the cockpit/cabin bulkhead (steering) and gunnel (shift, throttle) so as to be able to steer and watch/attend rods easier when trolling.

You can also make the steering dual control with two hydraulic steering units, a tie bar, and keep the throttle/shift controls separate.

Eliminates running into and back out of cabin repeatedly, and bumping your head. Rolling Eyes

thanks for the last pic. I would like to have the steering in the back. make it way easier for fishing. and will look into the cost to set one up. i have the tie bar already for main and kicker.
I guess my main question is how do you get two sets of controls in the boat as there is only a mounting place for one set. I figured I would have to build something bigger to get second set in there. but after seeing that last pic i think I will explore that option,and it doesn't look to take up much more fishing space.
