T&T: Lower stations, do you use yours?

[Mark Andrew]

OK, since we're on multi-station as a topic,

I'm renovating a 56 foot steel trawler.  Would like to have a PH (pilot
house) and FB (fly bridge) steering, engine, and nav controls.

I'm planning on a self-contained hydraulic steering control setup, which I
understand is pretty easy to split between multiple stations, and maintain
all control should there be a power outage.

It's the engine control I'm most concerned with, especially being able to
maintain engine control in the midst of a power failure (sh$%^ happens, and
I'd like to be able to motor home).  Is it possible to have a control cable,
say in the PH, and a remote control up on the FB?

How do other trawlers have this configured?  Looking for a bullet-proof
solution, and at least two stations (maybe three, if I want to prep for
Mediterranean mooring and put another remote station at the rear of the
boat.

Ideas?  Suggestions?
