    Mercruiser Binnacle Controls, circa 1986.....

    I have one that is missing the neutral/warm up button.

    It's a '86, single lever binnacle mount w/the round knob on top of the lever and the square binnacle cover.

    Can't find prints anywhere that show me whats missing. It works as is but will just about poke a hole through your thumb w/o the button to push against.

    I have pix's to post as soon as they get to my PC from my cell.

    This is my new to me, '86 Formula w/a 260 HP 350 and an Alpha drive.
    So far, EVERYTHING on this boat has been a pleasant surprise and everything works. The windshield has the rare pop out wings and one was missing the hinge hardware for it and I found it down in Miami to put it back to orig.

    Previous owner bought it as his first boat and was in way over his head. Good people and spent a ton on it before giving up.
    5 new in the wrapper ski vests, 2 ropes, a set of O'brien ski's etc, etc.

    One of the glitches was the drive wouldn't trim up from the remote. Turns out someone had the limit switch assembled wrong. Corrected that and works like a champ.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
