SeaStar CHX8050P CH1700 Series Starboard Side Mount Boat Control, Without Trim
The SeaStar CHX8050P is a CH1700 series side mount control box built for starboard (right side) gunwale mounting only. It is a dual-function lever control that handles both throttle and shift for a single engine from one smooth, solid-feeling handle, with a shapely, balanced grip designed for confident handling. This is the without-trim version, so the handle operates shift and throttle only.
The control comes with the standard safety features expected on a marine shift and throttle control: a neutral safety switch, neutral lockout and start-in-gear protection, and a neutral engine warm-up feature. A standard lanyard-style cut-off switch is included for emergency engine shutdown, along with a friction adjustment feature to fine-tune handle resistance. The "Easy-On" cable design accepts virtually every type of OEM cable as well as 3300/33C style control cables, and the unit can be set up for either push or pull cable actuation, giving a mechanical advantage of 2.38:1.
This side mount control is compatible with 3300/33C style control cables, Mercury style cables from 1965 to date (including Gen II), and OMC/Johnson/Evinrude/BRP control cables from 1979 to date, making it a versatile replacement option for most outboards, stern drives, and inboards. It features a chrome handle with a black cover and black inserts. It is made in the U.S.A. And meets or exceeds applicable industry standards.
