Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my engine control cables need replacing?
A: If shifting or throttling feels stiff, delayed, or inconsistent, your cables may be corroded or stretched and should be replaced immediately.
Q: Can I use any throttle control on my boat?
A: No. Always choose a control compatible with your engine’s brand and model to ensure proper fit and function.
Q: What’s the difference between single and dual-lever controls?
A: Single-lever controls manage throttle and shift together. Dual-lever controls separate them, offering more precise maneuvering for twin-engine setups.
