Morse control??

Post by KrabKrusher »

Can anyone identify the manufacturer? I thought Morse (now Teleflex) but there's no name.

I had that same control on my A-35 but there were a few bushings that wore out and the thing came apart. I couldn't find suitable replacement parts but Teleflex had an entire unit (slightly different) for sale (lots of $$$). I was never a huge fan of it to begin with because it required that I operate it with my feet or reach down and restrict my visibility while docking so I ended up replacing the whole control assembly with Edson binnacle mounted controls.

It is Morse/Teleflex.

This is the closest replacement I've found.
