Classic binnacle styling suits a wide range of helm installations. The dual-function lever controls both throttle and gear selection through a single cable connection, keeping the helm clean and the operation intuitive. A built-in neutral safety switch prevents accidental starting in gear, and the engine warm-up feature lets you bring the engine to operating temperature in neutral before engaging the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model features \u003cstrong\u003elonger shift travel\u003c\/strong\u003e than earlier MT-3 controls, which improves cable compatibility for certain MerCruiser sterndrive applications and installations with longer cable runs or multiple bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-engine installations using a top-mount binnacle control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerCruiser sterndrive applications specifying a single dual-function lever control (particularly those requiring longer shift travel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine and compatible inboard\/sterndrive engine installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelm installations using \u003cstrong\u003e3300\/33C\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e4300\/43\u003c\/strong\u003e type control cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm cable type, engine manufacturer shift-and-throttle cable requirements, and helm cutout dimensions before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCable Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3300\/33C cables:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with both single and dual lever MT-3 configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4300\/43 type cables:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with single lever only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the correct cable type for your engine and cable run.

Pushing forward shifts into forward gear and advances throttle simultaneously; pulling back shifts into reverse. Separate-lever systems control throttle and shift independently, which some commercial or twin-engine applications require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this model have longer shift travel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLonger shift travel was added to improve compatibility with certain MerCruiser sterndrive shift systems and to provide better cable actuation in installations with long cable runs or multiple routing bends. If earlier MT-3 controls produced incomplete shifts in your application, this model is worth confirming against the installation specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use 4300\/43 cables instead of 3300\/33C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CH5310P in single-lever configuration supports both 3300\/33C and 4300\/43 type cables. In dual-lever configurations, only 3300\/33C cables are supported. Confirm the cable type required by your engine before purchasing cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this control work with twin-engine installations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a single-station, single-engine control. Twin-engine installations require a dual-lever control or two separate single-lever units. Contact Dometic or your dealer for multi-engine configuration options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CH5310P is the right choice for single-engine helm upgrades or replacements where a clean binnacle look and reliable single-lever operation are the priority. The most common issue is cable compatibility — customers sometimes order 4300\/43 cables expecting full compatibility, but that cable type only works in the single-lever configuration. Confirm the cable type and run length before ordering cables. If the previous control produced sloppy or incomplete shifts, the extended shift travel on this model is a genuine improvement, particularly on MerCruiser sterndrive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51027245989924,"sku":"1-CH5310P","price":828.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/1-CH5310P.jpg?v=1783236674","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/dometic-ch5310p-single-mt-3-binnacle-control-dual-function-lever","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
