In desperate need of 70's-80's Morse Control!

I knew it was an old post but remembered it when I saw the control, I know it can be a long search for some of these parts. All we can do is put them out there. I hope the guy found what he needed.

Any chance this is the one?

Morse control

i may have a control for you. send me a PM. i changed it to "not private". bill

Oh yes I've been on Zoar once before My Uncle lives not to far from there rite in oxford. A hardware store was also a back up plan I was considering I plan to drive to a true value tomorrow and see if they can help me out. hopefully that will solve the problem saving me lots of searching for an old throttle. if that plan doesn't work in the meantime I hope to find someone who is selling an Mv-1 otherwise I'm going to have to buy the mv-2 or sit over on it over winter and see what comes my way. btw you're ski nautique is awesome! I've never seen one before as done up as yours is with exhaust and everything how much of a difference is there in sound?

too much info?

good I'm glad to here that because yes it is sad to find out that less and less parts for these classics are being made as the years move on and finding information about these inboards is very valuable. I'm located in brookfield CT rite next to Candlewood lake if you're familiar with the area

"Almost identical" in what way, Kap? The housing is different, as is the bolt pattern. Kind of defeats the purpose if he's trying to keep the original look!

That being said, the MV2 and MV1 have the same internal guts. If your MV1 is worn beyond repair, but you still have the housing, then you can swap everything over from a newer unit. If your housing is whats broken (stripped threads, etc) then you will need to source a used one somewhere. Ebay is your friend.

Dont worry about the fact that you have a MC... we wont berate you too much! I think you'll find that there is some pretty good technical info here for older inboards of all brands. Better than anywhere else on the web, IMHO- including the MC site.

Where abouts in CT are you located?

The ball and spring flew out of the original when taking it apart. and yes haha I am aware that this is a cc forum but i figured people wouldn't mind considering It's a classic

I just recently had a problem with my Morse control on my 1976 MasterCraft Stars and Stripes and am in desperate need of a new throttle from that time and age to keep the boat the way it is oppose to modifying a newer style to it. If anyone has a one they are willing to sell that is not in use anymore please contact me, Thanks
