Replacement throttle/gear shifter

[Kiwi]

Hi guys. Needing some help please. We had a mishap with our vessel, resulting in the lower helm gear shifter snapping (cable got caught underneath and pulled through) we have the replacement cable but I can't find a replacement shifter. We brought one here in New Zealand but it's nothing like the Carver ones and won't work. I can't seem to find anything online. Is there anywhere I can buy parts like this please? It's a 1988 carver convertible 3227

I’m guessing your controls were likely made by a company called “Morse” I would try an eBay search or a company which is also on eBay called Great Lakes skipper. Shipping might be prohibitive for you but that’s where I would start. I replaced one of the throttle levers on my 85 after a Marina mechanic broke one off. I see the brand has been picked up by teleflex so maybe try them as well. Luckily I was able to source it locally at a boat junkyard. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You should post some pics of what you're looking for. Lots of other models of Carvers (and probably other manufacturers) likely used the same shifter, but no one will know exactly what you're talking about unless they're familiar with your model.

Thanks for the advise! Here's a couple of pics. Will check out those suppliers too.ta

Welcome to the forum....
Would you have a close up pic of where it is broken....perhaps there could just be a repair ??

[image][/image] one side only has damage where the bolt tore through. The other side snapped off one piece and cracked the other piece. Hope to replace but if we can't find anything we will be resigned to trying to fix it
