Hermank,
I added a couple of additional pictures to the original post, which show more details.
If you would like, private message me and I can put you in contact with the club member who built the control consoles (or helms if you prefer).
I'm sure he will be glad to share greater details about their construction.

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

That is the reason the Edina Model Yacht Club added our two Vac-U-Tugs. They are stable, the battery lasts a long time, the consoles we have built make "piloting" easy and safe (can't be accidentally dropped in the pond ... LOL).
The steering and throttle are spring-loaded to return to the neutral position if a youngster gets distracted or walks away.
AND, the young crowd LOVES them! We have a line waiting to use them at every event we have them present.

Hi Hermank
I always do the same when I sail my boats. It doesn't take long and the first kids come running. They are always allowed to take the transmitter in their hands and drive.
