    Sea Gypsy had the same Morse single lever shift/throttle control as pictured in earlier posts. Worked great except the neutral lock-out was inoperative. As a result, I was compelled to start the engine at dead idle. Works OK in warm weather, but not in cold. I tried & tried to find info on this controller but never found any. Only recently, reading these posts and seeing the pictures confirmed it was indeed Morse.

     I recently replaced it with a Vetus model SISCO. I am VERY satisfied with the replacement. Still single lever/dual function. Looks great too! Consider it a possible alternative/upgrade.

    Added bonus:The Vetus SISCO will push or pull depending on the engine requirements.

    Allan and Jack, I have the Owner's Manual in my hands now.  The model # is MV-2 (March 1988).  If you still would like a copy, I will give it a go.

    After reviewing several manuals from the Morse website I concluded the the MV2 was the closest match to my lever. I have since installed it and have the lever operating.  I am sure this is a valuable resource as most W32s utilize this control lever and they seem to wear as the cables slip and stretch. I rebuilt mine as it was frozen from years of inoperation. Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely Alan

    Alan, good job getting that fussy little thing working.  After a long look at your photo of lever, I do not see the neutral collar or rod running down the inside of the handle.  Probably not the MV-2 anyway.

    I have a PDF manual for the MV-2, if anyone needs it.

    Does anyone have a clue what model this ugly control might be? (Unfortunately, Wild Apricot has screwed up their posting routines again, so I can not currently paste the actual image today. Sorry.)

    Jack,

    That is a Marmac shifter which is what I have as installed by Bob Comstock, the original builder/owner of Rhapsody. Works good, lasts a long time (with a few repairs over the years). I believe I have the original spec sheet somewhere in my files if you need it.

    Regards,

    Werner

    Thank you, Werner. It makes it a little easier to search when you know the manufacturer. I did find an example image on a Sailboat Owners Assoc. page

    It appears to be a model "M-1093-D2". I cannot, however, find a manual anywhere and mine seems to need adjustment. If you come across the spec sheet, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Jack,

    I'll scan and PDF it to you when I get back to Florida next week. As I recall, it's only a single page and is very general. The removal procedure requires a little finesse with a couple of padded screwdrivers or a gear puller as the outer housing is mounted on a serrated spline which can be removed after removal of the handle and transmission interlock knob.

    Regards,

    Werner
