kshays Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Just purchased a boat and need to replace the handle, but I am having a time finding one for some reason. Here is a pic of what it looks like. It still works, just have to do it with 2 hands right now. I will get a better picture and upload it tonight. 2007 Bass Tracker 175 tx pro team 50hp Mercury 2stroke 3cyl Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshays Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 I would not think so either, just wondering if I can find the handle by itself or if I will have to get something like this. https://www.amazon.com/ZOYAN-Outboard-8M0011213-Throttle-Concealed/dp/B0937BDL9Z ty! Need to find if this is compatible, but I guess when I searched for "control handle" I started finding more of what I was looking for https://www.ebay.com/itm/134647291905?hash=item1f599aa001:g:unMAAOSwo81kq2hJ&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8Ee%2F0HfGF4pnf7w%2BqIDNsn1fTnpHl8ZWQ46FN276gGC6Aja6qob7zs9ilxico%2FMUECzl4r%2FRvnYfSyB2eOV4jGoVQfCN79C7eia8%2FAbJAIE58Fx6HhD6%2BwrPnbenlY76ceuvXDKAsGQFOfpNKPrhkmjxDHhHAvcXWyhgO8aMdiBjS8UHCHhwD9eakrPkv4FG2pRkKYB4BI79zOY%2BDDqWDHED3aH0udFJlBVCBMgJKQh2FLMsFDM1WT07WVt423c%2B5ZOXmxCMUuD12Npry6RL42krPf2lhESa%2Bbg2OiQ%2BB7OdgqsWuAxISa%2FhrYHmEkYY0Q%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBM9tP8qa1i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airshot Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Generic can be questionable, buy Merc makes controls everyday but probably not cheap. From what I have heard, they are having a tough time keeping up with production of outboards. My local dealer tells me big motors, over 250 hp can have up to a year delivery time. Smaller 40-100 hp can have a three month backlog, so control parts could be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea now to start searching, but need to get the numbers off the Merc to make sure Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution airshot Posted July 26, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 26, 2023 Check to see if you have any marine salvage yards in your area, while they are few and far between, they rarely advertise so you might find one out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshays Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 No salvage yards, just 2 marine shops, but I will check and see though One specializes in bass trackers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshays Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Called both which are near me and they have to order it from their dealers. Here is the link I found contacting their reps. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury-marine-accessory-parts/remote-controls-and-components/1994-up/remote-control-4000-panel-858690a1-a11 I just need the top handle, but it looks like mercury may sell it as a handle kit only.

Alex from GA Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 There is a salvage yard near me that sells on ebay also. You might call them. Marine Liquidators Cumming, GA 770-888-2628. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
