I just boat another boat, vintage 1977.
It has a 1977 Evinrude, with the Evinrude Simplex controls.
They seem to be in good working order, as are the cables.
They may need a bit of adjustment.
And the throttle friction knob doesn't provide much friction.
Are these controls still reliable, or should they be replaced?
I would sure feel better having controls that could not be shifted into gear by accident.
What do you all think?
Can anyone recommend a replacement that would use the old cables?
