SeaStar Xtreme Top Mount Control Box, Chrome, Single Lever with Trim/Tilt Switch, CHX8142P

The SeaStar CHX8142P is a top mount single-lever control box finished in polished chrome, built for boaters who want precise command of throttle and shift at the helm. It integrates a trim switch and a tilt switch directly into the control head, so trim and tilt adjustments are made with the same hand that runs the throttle and shift lever, without reaching for a separate switch panel. The chrome cover and chrome handle give the helm station a finished, polished appearance that matches other chrome-trimmed hardware on the boat.

As a top mount design, the control is installed on top of the helm console rather than under it, a common layout on center consoles and other boats where side or front-mount controls are not practical. The single-lever action operates throttle and shift together in one motion, simplifying operation for the person at the helm. Built by SeaStar Solutions, a long-standing supplier of throttle and shift control cables, steering, instrumentation, and engine and drive repair parts to boat builders, dealers, and boaters, this control box is intended to hold up to regular use in a marine environment.
