A West Marine part.

Pic 1 on
Pic 2 off- the screw (3/16) is tight & off rotation stays put.
Pic 3 part needed.
Pic 4 now you will want this too?
The key ring is to keep the stud from turning.
There is some yellow teflon tape bound under the nut, I added to keep the nut from turning when "off".
You do have to baby-sit it & press up or down to arrive at the RPMs you want 1800 seems to be reported as good. I shoot for 2000. It is fickle to be sure.
Operation
I rotate yoke & set the rod on the "ledge" adjacent to the plug.
Play with pedal up or down to get my 1800. Not too much downward as even a slight tap will release it completely.
When done
Rotate the yoke to about vertical or beyond.
Safety musings
Hmm. I see the visual concerns you all have. Yet let someone produce the same linkage and let them then pipe up. I have tried to get it to catch "on" without using 1 hand (& foot) and I have nothing to be concerned about.
This is really a delightful out come as I too had concerns. I have chewed on this for a long time. I have size 14 shoes yet I always use my toe area and there is never a need go up on the body/structure that is not "pedal". The tightness of the pivot is a security as well as its location- an unused (at least by me) area of foot movement.
Now (do?) you all do know that the brake use cuts out any throttle input.
Yet I know it would not sell well without somehow a more visual & dedicated lockout.
Modifications
Could a "fast pin" be used instead of a bolt?
Yes. Please your Wife & others. The pin will allow for easy removal.
Do not.exceed 3/16 as the web structure will be compromised. There is a 3/16 cavity already. Drill from the passenger side to start the passage.
Yet the pin would leave a loose & floppy pivot.
The ledge of the housing structure provides such a precarious catch point as well as the the fact that the rod is floppy too there being only a nut face that relies on throttle spring for pressure to keep it from falling out of position.
