SeaStar CHX8151P Xtreme Top Mount Chrome Control with Trim Switch and Neutral Interlock

The SeaStar CHX8151P Xtreme Top Mount Control is a chrome dual-function control box that lets a single lever handle both throttle and shift, simplifying helm operation for single-engine boats. It is built to work with both 3300/33C type control cables and OEM shift/throttle cable connections, giving installers flexibility when matching it to an existing cable setup. The control includes a Neutral Interlock built into the handle, which works alongside start-in-gear protection so the engine cannot be started or throttled up while still in gear, and a neutral throttle warm-up function lets the engine run at idle before getting underway. A drag adjustment is built in so the operator can dial in the amount of resistance felt through the lever to match personal preference. This control is also designed for use in dual station boats when paired with the corresponding DS unit, making it a fit for helms that need a second control station. Housed in a chrome finish, the CHX8151P mounts on top of the console or gunwale rather than on the side, and it ships complete with a trim switch built into the control for tilt/trim operation from the same handle. Package quantity is one control box. With its combination of dual-function shift/throttle operation, neutral safety interlock, and dual-station compatibility, the CHX8151P is suited to boaters upgrading or replacing a top mount control on a single-engine inboard/outboard application.
