# 1140068 Control | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta top-mounted mechanical control for a starboard or right-hand installation. The PC-871 uses separate levers for throttle and gear selection, allowing precise engine-speed adjustment and positive forward, neutral and reverse engagement. The control incorporates adjustable throttle friction, a mechanical neutral lock and a neutral-start safety switch. It accepts Volvo Penta standard 333, Xact and legacy 443 control-cable systems when the appropriate forks or connector sets are used.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **HP Range:** Approximately 9-300 HP
-   **Year Range:** Approximately 1980s - 2010s

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta PC-871 starboard twin-lever control
-   Separate throttle and gear-shift levers
-   Adjustable throttle friction and mechanical neutral lock
-   Neutral-start safety switch fitted as standard
-   Suitable for single-station or correctly configured dual-station installations
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta mechanically governed petrol and diesel marine engine

## 🔌 Function

The control converts lever movement into independent throttle and shift-cable travel. Its neutral lock prevents accidental gear engagement, while the neutral-start switch prevents cranking unless the gear lever is in neutral.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Excessive lever play or stiff movement
-   Engine will not reach full throttle or idle correctly
-   Forward, neutral or reverse cannot be selected consistently
-   Neutral-start switch becomes intermittent
-   Cable forks, pivots or internal detents become worn

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the replacement carries the part number for your engine or drive installation before fitting — controls are matched to the system they work with and are not freely interchangeable
-   Note how the original is connected, routed and adjusted before anything is disconnected, and label the leads or cables as they come off so it goes back exactly as it was
-   Keep electrical connections clean and dry, seat connectors fully home, and route cables and harnesses clear of heat, moving parts and standing water with easy, unstrained bends
-   Mount to the original fixings and to the torque in the workshop manual for your engine, without pulling or springing the unit into position
-   Test the installation through its full range of function with the boat safely secured alongside before relying on it under way
