• Control lever not releasing correctly
• Water or salt contamination around the control

🛠️ Service Notes

• A control-handle button for the mechanical single-lever control used with the D1 and D2 engines. Order by part number so the button matches the handle it came out of.
• After fitting, check the button moves freely and returns fully under its own spring. A button that sticks down or feels gritty is usually salt and dirt inside the handle rather than a faulty button, so clean the handle out while it is open.
• If the control still feels wrong once the button is renewed, look at the control cables and their adjustment. A stiff or badly routed cable makes the whole handle feel heavy no matter what the button does.
• Do the work with the engine stopped, and check gear engagement and throttle response alongside the berth before relying on the control.
