Author	Topic:   Neutral safety lock
dscew	posted 03-25-2010 07:58 PM ET (US)      When I re-powered my old Katama with a new 60 HP Mercury engine, I installed a standard binnacle Merc single lever control. While it doesn't allow starting unless the shifter is in neutral, I'd like it to have an automatic neutral safety lock, which would prevent inadvertant shifting into gear. Does anyone have or know of this type of control, either from Mercury or Teleflex? Part numbers and suppliers would be appreciated.

Teleflex has had it as an option on their CH7500/7600 top mount controls. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/Teleflex/ TMTechCat-Controls%28v4_0%29CH1700_CH7500_CH7600.pdf
