Dometic Xtreme Top Mount Control CHX8140P, Chrome Single-Lever Side Mount for Outboards, Stern Drives & Inboards

The Dometic Xtreme Top Mount Control CHX8140P is a chrome single-lever control designed to deliver superior feel and function on most outboards, stern drives, and inboards. The lever sits on the left side of the control and operates dual-function control of one engine, meaning a single lever handles both throttle and shift instead of requiring separate controls. This simplifies helm operation while giving the operator direct, precise control over engine response.

Safety and everyday usability are built into the design. A standard neutral safety feature offers start-in-gear protection, and a standard neutral engine warm-up feature lets the engine idle safely in neutral before getting underway. The control also includes a friction adjustment feature so the operator can dial in lever resistance to personal preference, and it can be optionally configured with trim in the handle or an optional tilt switch depending on the model setup.

Cable connection uses Dometic's Easy-On cable design, which accepts virtually every type of OEM cable as well as 3300/33C type cables, and the control is easily adapted to either push or pull cable actuation mode. This flexibility makes the CHX8140P a practical fit for a wide range of boats already rigged with standard control cables. The chrome finish gives the control a durable, polished look at the helm.
