🔌 Function

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Lever stiff, notchy or loose in the hand
• Control does not stay where it is set
• Engine or transmission slow to respond to a movement of the control
• Detent feel gone, so neutral is hard to find
• Internal wear or a cracked housing found when the unit is stripped

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the cable runs and end fittings before condemning the control - stiff or kinked cables produce the same symptoms
• The friction brake is adjustable, so try setting it before deciding the lever is worn
• If the boat's records show 22561326, this is the current part
