Engine Control Levers

Engine control levers are crucial for managing your boat's speed and direction. Let's break down the options:

Twin Engine Dual Action

Engine Cables

Engine cables are the unsung heroes of control systems, translating lever movements into engine responses. Here's what you need to know:

• Materials:
• Stainless steel for durability.
• Coated cables for reduced friction.
• Maintenance Tips:
• Regularly check for wear and tear.
