Hello,
Was looking into getting a top mount style Thrott/T&T for my center console.
Was checking this one out.
The descriptions mention it being universal...I'll be getting a 2 stroke Yamaha 90hp inline 3 cylinder outboard.
It is a SeaStar Xtreme Top Mount Throttle and Shift Control
I have found that most universal control boxes are not much cheaper than OEM. I have also found that those same shifters will have no replacement parts available if needed in a few years. Now if you buy a Morse or Livorsi, different story.
My friend had a whole box of universal binnacle shifters similar to above. He got them for free as they had no plastic covers and they were no longer made. I would find the covers here and there on e-bay or marine surplus stores and trade him a cover for a shifter. I think they were made by morse and Suzuki used them as OEM back when.
I would highly recommend the classic Morse MT-3 control that Whaler supplied for years. To this day there is nothing better looking and smoother in operation than this unit, especially when used with the new "XTREME" cables.
