Moody 36CC throttle/gear lever

While googling to see what the alternatives were I was astonished at the prices of these complete throttle/gear mechanisms . I was given X5 (used) Morse units, I picked out the best one, gave two away and I still have two in my junk!

The boat jumbles in the UK was/is a very good location for all these kind of things

I always used to try to time any visit to September for SIBS and visit as many of the Boat jumbles I could find.

I would always stay to the end as you could get some real bargains as the traders did not wist to take some thinks back home.

The entire shaft, as seen protruding from the housing in pic 1, turns when you operate the lever. So yes, you could machine a lever to fit over the shaft and ignore the splines, fitting grub screws, as you say. The original had a grub screw, but that was only to stop the lever sliding off, the splines stopped it turning. It would mean that the lever would be held on and prevented from turning, by the grub screw/s. That should be enough really, some Bavaria steering quadrants are held in place with a single bolt, screwed into a dimple on the rudder shaft.

But the owner prefers a new mechanism, obviously not as tight fisted as you and i

Why go to all the trouble of machining? (Just making work)
What about one of these?

I did suggest Mole grips as a temp measure, he wasn't impressed

I think at one time there was a gear/throttle operated by a winch handle that would lock into a winch square in the control.

As a security you could just remove the winch handle

Perhaps he should have gone with the Mole grips then, he could take them home

I didn't want to start off a new thread but maybe we should all keep an eye on crowds like this?

Same Idea as in post #23

My old man had a Bedford van with column change, the hand levers used to break, he used the same system!

coopec's suggestion of Googling is a novel one - I bet you hadn't thought of that!

Obviously you haven't got a clue about search engines and searching the internet.

Why don't you do a little research before making smart-Alec, snide comments? (But I suppose you reckon you are an expert and know it already?)?

You reckon?

It is not worth starting a thread just for Internet searching so I'll just make this last comment.

Recently I googled Climbing Kilimanjaro and was immediately hit with tour operators offering their services. It doesn't happen anymore because Mozilla Firefox blocks the cookies

The DuckDuckGo search engine doesn't profile users or store information (eg location) on users as google, Bing and Yahoo do. As a result everyone gets the same search engine result. Where location is important to the search, DuckduckGo uses the location of your Internet Provider.

Google is by far the world's most successful search engine because it has the biggest, freshest index of websites and the smartest search algorithms. That's why Google has a monster 92% of the world's search engine traffic, whereas Duck Duck Go has virtually nothing. Sure, Google delivers targeted advertising, just as Duck Duck Go does - that's how they make money. But you can of course turn off ad personalisation in your Google account settings.

If you're concerned about search engines knowing your location, simply turn it off in your browser settings.

If you're concerned that Google stores info on what you've been searching for, go to Google's Activity Controls and turn them all off.

If you're really concerned about privacy, don't use the internet at all! However, judging by the stuff you've already distributed around cyberspace, my guess is you're not too concerned about privacy.

Naturally, my views are only those of someone who, according to you, hasn't "got a clue about search engines and searching the internet".

Oh! So you are an expert on search engines too! ? ? We are all incredibly impressed.

Geeez! You must think we all came down in the last shower! ? How pathetic? But what else would we expect?

Do you still standby your smart Alec and snide remark (above)?

Geeez! You must have an interesting life when you research "the stuff you've already distributed around cyberspace"?

(Hope you don't check out what I was googling last night! OMG!!??? )
