Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a top mount single control?
A top mount single control unit integrates both throttle and shift functions into a single lever, allowing for intuitive and simultaneous control of engine speed and gear selection from a single mounting point.
What does '33C style cable compatibility' mean?
This refers to a specific type of marine control cable standardized for its diameter and connection method, commonly used for throttle and shift applications in inboard and outboard engines.
What is the recommended maximum boat length for this control?
This control is suitable for boats up to approximately 35 feet, where precise engine management for throttle and shift is critical.
Does this unit include the necessary cables?
The UFLEX USA MB103 control unit itself does not include the throttle and shift cables; these must be purchased separately and should be of the 33C style type.
