The 216-B47 is a single function dual lever side mount control designed for outboard-powered boats. The dual lever arrangement puts throttle and shift within easy reach from the side of the helm, and the unit installs on either the port or starboard side to suit your console layout. The nylon fiberglass body and anodized aluminum levers are built to handle the salt and UV exposure of a marine environment. Cables are not included connection kit requirements depend on your cable type.
Do I need a connection kit? Only if you are not using Mercury Gen I cables. Mercury Gen I cables connect directly to this control. OMC-style and 33C-style cables require a K23, K24, or K25 adapter kit depending on the cable generation see the compatibility table above. Can this control be mounted on either side of the helm? Yes. The 216-B47 is designed for left or right side mount installation. Confirm the orientation for your console before cutting the mounting hole. Is this control suitable for twin-engine installations? This is a single function control designed for single-engine outboard applications. Twin-engine setups typically require dual station or twin-engine specific controls contact us if you are configuring a twin-engine helm. What cable length do I need? Cable length depends on the distance from the helm to the engine. Measure the full routing path not just straight-line distance and add slack for turns and service access. See the cable options linked in the Related Parts section. Are cables included? No. Control cables are sold separately. Select the correct cable type and length for your engine and helm configuration, and add the appropriate connection kit if your cables are OMC or 33C-style. What does “single function” mean? Single function means the control operates one engine station throttle and shift are combined in the dual lever setup, but the unit controls one engine from one helm position. It is not a dual-station or remote control unit.
Best use case: The 216-B47 is a solid choice for single-engine outboard boats where the helm is configured for side mount controls particularly center console, bay boat, and walkaround hulls where side mount placement suits the station layout. It handles Mercury Gen I cable connections natively, making it straightforward to install on Mercury-powered boats without additional adapters. The white finish suits lighter helm panels and console tops common on fiberglass production boats.
Common customer questions: The most frequent issue is cable compatibility customers often dont know which cable generation they have and order without the correct connection kit, leading to a return or a second order. Ask for the engine brand, year, and cable end type before completing the order. The second common question is mount side the unit works on either side, but customers sometimes assume it is handed. Confirm they have measured the routing distance before selecting a cable length, as underestimating the run is a common installation problem.
