I used it several times and had no problems. Its smooth and easy to work.. Just make sure your cables are the right length and no sharp bends. I like the lever which allows you to be able to increase the speed at an idle.
Eric –
Great control. A lot smoother than my old controls on an old boat i swapped the motor off of. I decided to go with a new control instead of using the old one and it was a good decision.
Customer –
I did not get a wiring diagram with this control unit
Tom Basham –
Haven’t gotten it fully installed on my ’95 Force 40 hp yet but it appears to be compatible and built to last
Selina Surles –
Works great and a lot cheaper than going to a marina to purchase! Perfect fit for a 2006 Mercury 25hp 4 stroke

Opened the box and could hear parts rattling around inside. Took both covers off and noticed that it was brass piece that holds the springs in place. Also, throttle peg was in the wrong position (moved the lever forward and it wouldn’t pull the cable forward.) Had to fix that as well. Working fine now but would have been nice to receive it turn key and ready to go after spending $500.
