-.. .-- .- .-. ...- . ... (If you are so inclined) I'm changing my Morse control after cursing it so often for being positioned suited only for a dwarf helmsman. I'll remove it from the steel panel it's presently mounted on and install a new oak-faced ply board in its place, raising the control by about 25cm. I can see the control from the back of the steel panel, and that it is held with four screws. How do I reach the heads of those screws, please? I'm at the point shown in the photo, with the throttle handle/button assembly off. Expecting the black cover to be held by some concealed fastener. I'm unwilling at this stage to try levering the black cover off, as it feels tightly fitted. The single leaflet of instructions I have for this control shows no exploded diagram, only the advice that it can be removed from the panel without disconnecting the Morse cables.

Hi I'm currently fitting a Morso chimney deck Plate supplied with the with the purpose made Morse chimney system (part number 62908511). The instructions say "Locating the deck plate - Use a suitable non silicon based water tight sealant on the deck of the craft before locating the deck plate." most sealants for simiIar situations I seem to find are silicone based. What would be peoples suggestions??, I suspect this will not get very hot as is an insulated system. I have used Sikaflex®-EBT in other setting do you think this is OK for this job? I thought i had seen this question in a previous topic but I failed to find it when searching so apologies if already covered previously thanks Keith

Hello all, I have finally had the opportunity to look at my Mercury 40hp outboard and I'm really unhappy with the condition of it, for an outboard that was supposedly serviced this time last year the condition is poor in the sense that the wiring is shot in various places, one of the prop fins has a chunk out of it and it appears the engine had an electric start but the wiring has perished and parts for this have been removed. Also the positive wire appears to be connected by the last 3 strands of it's inner copper wire, so far I have tilted the engine out of the water and removed the spark plugs which are BUHW-2, a design of spark plug I have never seen before. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NGK-BUHW-2-5626-Spark-Plug-Mercury-Mariner-2-Stroke-Outboard-Engines-4hp-90hp-/181528880213?hash=item2a43f6e455:g:BOsAAOxyJX1TF5M2) I have no idea what model of outboard it is, or it's age, only that it is a heavy unit, I thought it was a four stroke but could not find any oil filler caps so possibly a 2 stroke premix? Knowing nothing of the engine, I am now thinking the best idea would be to have a boat mechanic refurb the engine (rewire, change the prop and service), can this be done with the engine in situ or would I need to remove the unit and take it to a specialist? The good news is that the outboard is currently connected to a throttle/gear control box and steering wheel via a morse cable system, I'm now thinking of replacing the entire outboard and selling off the mercury unit after it's refurb, but are the controls universal and would it be a simple case of disconnecting the throttle arm and attaching the cables for throttle/gears? Thank you!

Hello All The control lever device on my boat has finally died. The internals are worn and it's seized, taking it apart revealed several plastic bushes disintegrated and bearings falling apart. It obviously needs replacing. The unit controls a Lister SR2, there are two existing cables, throttle and gear box. The attached photo shows the stop on the cables where they enter the unit. I'm trying to identify the cables, hopefully someone can help, are they Morse controls? The key to this I suspect is the stops where the cables are anchored in the bottom of the control box. Are these standard, and will any other box I buy have the same cable stop arrangement? If anyone has a viable spare I'd be interested in buying. Thank you.

Hi All. Was doing a bit of maintenance on my 1.5 BMC last weekend, changed the belts etc. I've had a loose lever on the Morse control for ages, so seeing as I had the tools out, I tightened that. Realised the cables were quite loose too and after a bit of looking around and poking it looks like the whole system is a bit bodged. Where they attach to the control end, one of cables isn't fastened, so when you move the lever the whole cable (inc sheaf) moves, rather than just the wire inside the cable. Other than that, I think the system is in good condition, but a lot of adjustment is needed, ie: *Movement forward and backward is very stiff *The engine rev's loads before the propeller is engaged in either direction Has anyone played with a Morse? any tips? Is it worth trying to de-grease the inside of the cables or is it just better to buy a new set? Thanks, Jess

Hey guys new on here so wasnt sure where to post, just picked up a narrowboat with an sr2 in, but i'm struggling to find out the best way to adapt the throttle for a morse. It came with a morse and 33c cables but it has an original lister throttle cable, I can see some people are using 33c cables and i'm trying find the way around it talked to sleeman and to lister and no one seems to have an answer any help would be appreciated ive added a couple of pictures ( promise i don't keep my engines in this condition as i said only just picked it up!)
