Micheal Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi everyone i have just purchased my first boat and the Morse control lever keeps coming off ? At the moment it has been patched up my question is can you purchase the lever separately or do you need a complete unit ? fitted is a TFX 700 many thanks Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanners Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Should be able to get spare parts , but sometimes works out easier and cheaper to replace the whole unit ,, but try one or two old school boat yards , they never throw anything away and maybe able to help with parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty69 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Last week the lever came off in Mrs Rusty's hand whilst she was turning the boat around. I was on the bank and shouted for her to turn the engine off. In a panic she turned the key, shouted back it won't switch off (forgetting that she had to press the stop button). Laugh, I nearly fell off my deck chair. Anyway, when I eventually picked myself up off the floor and got back onboard I stopped the engine, put the lever back on and did up the little grub screw beneath. Yours may be different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater Sam Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 There is the allen screw then. If nothing is broken, tightening that up should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
