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

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.

I  can't believe you sit on the towpath in a deck chair watching your wife do maneouvers.

You could sell tickets if you had a few more chairs.

She never let's me steer the boat. Apparently I am crap at it.

My wife is different, no little grub screw that I have ever found, often looked.
