I want to thank Don and others for bringing to our attention the issue of the back-end of the driver’s seat on C-Dory 16 boats hitting the throttle assembly. In my case, it is possible that the back end of the chair damaged the lanyard engine kill switch. My dealer, Old Lyme Marina, arrived at a very clever solution. They removed the old seat bolt, and replaced it with a longer bolt that extended approximately 1 ½” below the seat, which stops the chair from swiveling excessively into the throttle assembly. They used a rubber hose to encase the outside of the bolt, which prevents damage to the fiberglass surface. This is working fantastically, and I recommend this to anyone with a CD-16 to install some sort of stop.
