Hi gang. My neutral throttle button thingy is broken and I want to replace it but need to know what model control this is. 2007 Mercruiser Alpha One 5.0L TKS. There are no visible part numbers on this unit or the button.

Thanks for the feedback on the Traverse and Telluride. Probably would have been ok with either one but couldn't find any new or new enough with the packages (tow) I wanted. Ended up finding a very minty 2020 AWD Durango R/T with the Hemi and trailering package. 7200 lbs towing capacity. I think...
