They don't seem to mix.
My hubby has trouble fitting his PWC under most standard height tables (30"). He has a Permobil F3 with the elevate function, which seems to make the seat/arm height higher. Even if I lift the arms and bring them back behind him (which he doesn't like - since then he can't reach the controller) the top of his legs comes to 30" - so his legs will not fit due to the fact if there is a "slab" top, they're 2" thick, or if not the apron of the table lowers the allowable leg room.
I just ordered a custom made counter height table (36" high) for our kitchen. I had them cut part of the apron out so the arms of his chair could fit underneath. Then I remembered about the controller! It sticks up another 4" from the top of the arms. So now, I still have to lift the arm with the controller so that it will fit.
Two questions:
1) Do you have the same problems? What works for you?
2) Is there another controller/arm that will lower the controller so that it is the height of the arms? He is having trouble reaching the "flip" switches to control the mode and speed anyway.
Thanks for any input.
