    The control box could also be black with a wrinkle finish from the factory. The beauty of these controls is that both levers move the cables in the same direction so you can use the outside lever for the throttle if it works better in your boat.

    We should also mention that the throttle detent on these controls isn’t great. The detent won’t work well if the drilled holes in the detent contact area have an arched slot worn into them. Use the side with the least amount of wear for the detent.
