throttle control

[nik]

I need to replace my throttle control as it is busted.
The one I have is a quicksilver and is connected to a mercruiser 120Hp diesel.
I dont necessarily want the same one again, but I have never got involved with this before, so I dont know what makes to look at or what types of fittings there are.
I only need the handle, the cables are ok. The handle would come off in my hand, it is only the trim wires that stop it from comming off.
Any ideas?

A web search for "binnacle control" should give you a few hits.

Teleflex do some nice universal ones with throttle locks and multible positions for the trim tilt buttons.

I had a look at the teleflex site, I am a bit confused now.
I think I will have to go and look at some.
