The first and probably the most commonly used box is a Side Mount Control Box. This mechanism has the lever for controlling your throttle and shift, a button easily accessible by your thumb for tilt and trim, a fast idle lever for starting, and a built in key switch. The lever can be switched to either side of the box so that mounting can be on the right or left side. These boxes give you a lot of options as far as to where you can mount them. I have seen them on the rail of pontoon boats, bass boats, the right and left side of consoles, or attached to the inside wall of aluminum and fiber glass boats. here

The next most popular control box is what is called a Binnacle Control Box. These are a little more fancier and are mounted on the top of the boats console. The throttle and shift is also controlled by a single lever and have the tilt and trim button near your thumb. The down side for these control boxes is that they do not have a built in key switch so you will need to install an external one which will cost you more money to buy that separate. These also come in a dual lever for larger big water boats that are running twin motors. You will see this style of control box on pontoons, larger fishing boats, and your more luxurious boats. here

The last style of control box is called a Flush Mount Control. These are mounted on the inside wall of the boat and they only have the lever exposed giving the boat a much cleaner look. Just like the others controls, the throttle and shifting is done by a single lever and there is a tilt and trim button at the top end of the handle. Like the Binnacle Control Box, an external key switch is needed for starting. You will see these on crafts such as bass boats, speed boats, and jet boats.

For the most part your typical recreational boat will have what is called a Dual-Function Control Box. This means that both the shifting and throttle control is all operated by one lever. Pushing the lever forward past neutral shifts the motor into gear and the farther you push increases your speed. Going backwards in the opposite direction will put you in reverse. Shifting is done quickly and can only be done at lower RPM's which helps protect the motors shift mechanism. With a Dual-Function Control Box you will also need two cables, one for controlling the shifting and the second to control the throttle. [links]

When helping customers pick out their next outboard motor whether it be new or used, one common question we ask is what style control box do they need? This information is important in terms of pricing and installation for rigging the most practical control box for your set up. Since every outboard manufacturer makes a handful of different style control boxes, knowing what style control is on the boat or what options you can go with is going to make purchasing a new motor a whole lot easier and less stressful. In this article I will run down the different styles and what kind of boats they are typically found on.

I've run center console boats and have no problems using my index, middle, or ring finger to operate the trim control if the button is on the outside of the control, never even considered using my pinky. You seem to be wanting to create a problem where there normally isn't one. [links]

I take it he is swapping the handle to move it to the other side of boat and operate with left hand maybe here

[abstraction]

The button is on the other side. I don't know about you but I'm a thumb man. No self respecting american would control his trim with his pinky! here

[hritzen]

Yes, It can be converted to the handle on the other side. more

above- the parts after Tim ground off the "press on" fitting holding the smaller, connecting arm to the main, cable arm. Now to flip the smaller arm the opposite direction and reassemble. Notice the tapped hole in the bronze looking part; thats the pivot link between the two arms of the throttle arm assembly. It has been moved from below the pivot point (Push throttle position) to a pre-existing hole above the pivot point (Pull throttle position). [links]

We just grinded of the pressed metal plate that held the metal arm on its place (like you showed on your website) using a grinder and using a lathe (but you could do it by hand drilling) we drilled a hole in the center and added screw-thread in it so it could be later mounted again to the other hole securing it with a big washer and a little bolt.
Thanks for your great site or I never had a clue this was possible!" here

above- the before picture of the insides of Tim's factory "Push Throttle" 703 box. here

[benyclawn]

On your website I saw that it might be possible to flip the metal arm and mount it to the other hole and have your self
a pull remote without buying new parts. more

[sarahalfred142]

"I saw your website about editing the 703 remote and since I had the same issue (only vise versa;) as you had and
wanted to make my push remote into a pull remote.

[cdb000]
