The body is cast aluminum with stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and every critical pivot point rides on nylon and Teflon bushings, which keeps the pedal action smooth and reduces wear over repeated use. A patented idle stop is built into the design specifically for FICHT and Optimax engines, giving operators a consistent, repeatable idle position underfoot. The HF-1 is designed to work with Johnson, Evinrude, and Mercury outboard engines. Because it replaces the throttle input point at the helm with a foot pedal, installation requires a longer throttle cable than the boat's stock cable; the cable itself is not included and must be sourced separately to match the boat's rigging. At 5.3 pounds, the HF-1 is a self-contained control unit that mounts in the cockpit floor area within reach of the operator's foot. This is the original Hot Foot design that has been sold as a dedicated foot-throttle option for outboard-powered boats for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-H Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HF-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foot Throttle Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon and Teflon at all critical pivot points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdle Stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented idle stop for FICHT and Optimax engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engine Brands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrottle Cable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires a longer throttle cable (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 733572001600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnson outboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude outboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury outboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat outboard engines does the T-H Marine HF-1 work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF-1 Hot Foot Original foot throttle is designed to work with Johnson, Evinrude, and Mercury outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the HF-1 come with a throttle cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the HF-1 requires a longer throttle cable than the boat's stock cable, and that cable is not included with the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the T-H Marine HF-1 made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF-1 Hot Foot Original throttle has a cast aluminum body paired with stainless steel hardware for durability in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the HF-1 have an idle stop feature?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the HF-1 includes a patented idle stop specifically designed for FICHT and Optimax engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the HF-1 foot throttle weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T-H Marine HF-1 weighs 5.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bushings are used at the pivot points on the HF-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon and Teflon bushings are used on all of the HF-1's critical pivot points to keep pedal action smooth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a foot throttle used for on a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e A foot throttle like the HF-1 lets the operator control engine speed with their foot instead of a hand-operated lever, freeing both hands for steering or other tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a special cable needed to install the HF-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, installing the HF-1 Hot Foot Original requires a longer throttle cable than stock, which must be purchased separately since it is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the HF-1 compatible with Optimax outboards specifically?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the HF-1's idle stop is patented and built specifically to work with Optimax engines, as well as FICHT engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with the T-H Marine HF-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The box includes the HF-1 Hot Foot Original foot throttle unit itself; the throttle cable needed for installation is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T-H Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033323479259,"sku":"T-H-HF-1","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51EJVc6mK5L.jpg?v=1785244686","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/t-h-marine-hf-1-hot-foot-original-foot-throttle-for-johnson-evinrude-and-mercury-outboards","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
