At first sight that looks like mine which is a dual morse control for two engines. However, the link is apparently a control for one engine with separate levers for high/low revs and forward/reverse. I don't think that that is the normal configuration for leisure vessels and could be confusing to operate?

Just a thought.

Mine is two lever four cable, two cables to the engine, two to the forward control, so rigged in series.

More popular in US and on power boats. Cheap compared with the genuine article, though.

you wouldn't want it going wrong at the wrong time. i bought a 2nd hand one

can you fix the old one? etc

I think that these have been around for some time but have not actually heard much about them

The morse twinS is actually one of the better ones at resisting corosion as it use a yellow metal base unlike the NB and MT which are chromed alloy and disintegrate at a fishermans wet salty fishy touch
Varnishing before use may help

Have you looked at Kobelt controls

If so these are most likely the manufacturer.

No, this:

original link no good.
I am still using an ancient MB twin, mass of corrosion, flanges rotting off, but well lubricated and working. The forward control is a home made stainless one with simple levers on alkathene pipe bearings, good for twenty years so far.

I think you will find that the E-Bay supplier buys from AAA world wide.

We have a local agent for AAA so I know their stuff

I have also purchased from that E Bay supplier and they were located not far from where by brother lives. I recognize the phone number.
