ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a single lever control for the throttle and clutch of a marine propulsion device including a housing pivotally supporting a shaft member for relative lateral or axial movement between first and second positions, a main control lever connected to the shaft member for common axial movement and for common rotary movement from a neutral position, a throttle drive member connected to the shaft member for common rotary movement and for relative axial movement of the shaft member, and a clutch shift drive member mounted on the shaft member for relative rotation and for common axial movement. The clutch shift drive member includes a drive lug which, when the shaft member is in the first position, is receivable in and drivingly engages a drive notch in the throttle drive member to provide common rotary movement of these two members in response to pivotal movement of the main control lever from the neutral position. When the shaft member is moved axially to the second position in response to outwardly lateral or axial movement of the main control lever, the clutch shift drive member is moved to a disengaged position wherein the throttle drive member can be rotated or pivoted relative to the clutch shift drive member by the main control lever so that the engine throttle can be operated independently of the clutch for engine warm-up.
