Revision to Side Mount Shifters
I have made some changes to these units to make them lighter and better looking (IMO)
Hope you like them.
This is a custom fit Mercury Side Mount.
Shifter assembly is just under 1 pound.

the shifters look great, here is my application, an old 69 magnum 16 v bottom i'm rebuilding and yeah I agree with what you said if you have to drive the boat a foot throttle gives you more control on this boat the seats sides to gunnels is close and I thought of mounting the stock box behind the gunnel upside down all you would see alongside the seat would be your shifter handle sticking down still push for forward the ignition key would be at the bottom........ right there and then the gunnel could have a bolster cushion instead of a stock omc sidemount control which is in the way of . Question for you about neutral safety start switch on your shifter?? and I would rather have the foot throttle, your shifter and separate hidden key switch with built in lanyard cutoff . neutral start switch?

Cool project you have going there!
i did not build my shifters with provisions for a NSS.
The design was to be lightweight, inexpensive and good looking.
Because they are all surface mount, either side or floor, the switch would take away from the cool factor, albeit they are a good safety item for certain applications.
i could make provisions to mount a NSS but it would not be hidden.
I have not heard of anyone using these shifters having any issues and I hope it stays that way!
I have stock on side mount custom fit OMC shifters as well as floor mounts if you decide to go for it.
Thanks for looking!
keep us posted on you project.

you could also fit a neutral switch on the engine side of the cable to keep it looking tidy,

Davemvegas, from design to construction, I can work with you to create a dual shift controller.
Please PM me with an "envelope". I need dimensions that you need me to work within.
Distance from seat, height issues, panel thickness, clearance behind panel, etc.
I would also need to know the type of cables you, or plan to, use.
The pictures below show a design concept and complete fabricated dual shift/throttle unit to fit in a VERY tight area.
I had to create everything for this right down to the custom cable end pieces for the 33C cables.
This boat is undergoing refurbishment and modifications and will be a defenite performer once completed!!
I was honoured to be part of this build.
