Have another poot seems have many. Throttle control
box is latest one. Is there a after market complete set for
a 97 nitro 700lx with the 120 force? I keep running into
mercruser and stuff just dont apply I think. This one has tilt/trim
on the handle and kill swicth. Ignition is in the dash.
Oem thats in it is fine but hoping to find something
newer, more modern if makes sense. :confused:
Checked iboats and others but as said come accross
force, chrysler, mercruser..etc..Also gave up on
spelling as ya can see. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Side mount but am sure ya know that.

Re: Throttle Control box

Look on ebay or craigslist for a used Mercury Quicksilver 3000 control box and cables. You probably can buy a new one here at iboats but it would be less costly to buy another boat! LOL. Depending upon what control box you now have, you may need to do some modification to the mounting area on the boat and the 3000 has the key in the box but that is no big deal.

I have mounted the 3000 on a center console. a pontoon, and a tin bass boat. It is a bit of a fuss, I had to do some rewiring and massage the mounting a bit, but it is quite do-able.

Thanks Much..Will do..
This one only has tilt/trim on the handle and a kill switch.
I kept running into one with a thing on the box to idle
the motor higher at start.
