I looking for a single lever dual control ( shift and throttle one lever) for flush side mount. Seems a little difficult to find in either chrome or polished stainless steel. Another option I was thinking was (2) st and stb designs by morse or the morse mjb design (2 levers on one pivot point) but would prefer the single lever dual function. Suggestions or website links appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Kobelt (http://www.kobelt.com/2042_cut_sheet.html)has a number of such controls.

The look nicely made. I don't know how pricey they are.

I found the kobelt after posting. Somewheres around $500. Almost 22" from tip of handle to bottom of cable connections also. But if single lever dual function in chrome is what I want then I guess I have to pay up.
Thanks

The Teleflex/Morse MJB control is a bit less money and of adequate quality, but it's a two-lever control.

Jim,
I was looking at those. I'm reaaly trying to keep it to a single lever. I also found a vetus sisco control. I like it but it doesn't explain if it is a dual function. I beleive it is the exact control Dick Pulsifer uses on his hamptons. I emailed him to ask him if it was a dual function control he was using. His boats are single yanmar inboards and I only see one control in the pics of his boats. I will wait for his response. I will also call a distributor of the vetus control to see what they have to say.
Thanks,
Sean

I got thru to vetus tech support this morning and they told me that the vetus sisco control is a dual function control. So, that's the one I will go with.
Thanks for the replies
Sean
