It mounts to the side of the helm and can be installed either horizontally or vertically, on the starboard or port side of the boat, giving installers flexibility to match the layout of the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafety is built into the mechanism: the control prevents accidental gear engagement unless the engine is idling, and it includes a positive lock-in neutral position so the gear cannot be bumped into engagement by accident. A pull-out handle disengages the shift function for engine warm-up, and a neutral safety switch (X12-34543Q) prevents the engine from starting while it is in gear. Throttle feel is adjustable from outside the housing through a friction system, letting the operator tune resistance to preference. The B183 is built and tested to exceed EN ISO 11547 marine control standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe housing is finished in black plastic for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. This is the base single lever model in the Uflex side-mount control lineup; the related B184 adds a power trim switch in the handle grip, and the B85 is a smooth-design version intended for sailboats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Lever Side-Mount Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual action - operates both throttle and shift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Side mount; installs horizontally or vertically, on starboard or port side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for any type of boat with outboard engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neutral safety switch X12-34543Q prevents in-gear starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeutral Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Positive lock-in neutral to prevent accidental gear engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrottle Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Friction system adjustable from outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceeds EN ISO 11547\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755007357\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for any type of boat with an outboard engine.
