SeaStar CHX8052P Side Mount Control Box, Chrome Handle, Starboard Gunwale, I/O and Outboard

The SeaStar CHX8052P is a side mount engine control box built for single-engine boats, with a dual function lever that controls both throttle and shift from one handle. The control is designed for starboard gunwale mounting only, so confirm your helm layout calls for a starboard-side control before ordering. The lever body has a chrome handle finish with a black cover and chrome-and-black trim inserts, giving a clean, balanced grip that feels solid in hand while operating.

Standard safety features include a neutral interlock, neutral lockout, and neutral warm-up function, plus a lanyard-style safety stop switch for emergency engine shutdown. The mechanism is configured for I/O and outboard applications with trim and tilt capability. Cable actuation can be set up for either push or pull mode, and the control accepts 3300/33C style control cables as well as Mercury style cables (1965 to date) and OMC/Johnson/Evinrude/BRP Gen II control cables (1979 to date), giving flexibility when matching to existing rigging.
