Abstract: A single lever remote control assembly for marine power units or engines which is mounted at a position remote from the engine and connected to the engine by motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type including a motion transmitting control or cable element movably supported by a conduit. The assembly includes an elongated housing having a bottom portion offset rearwardly from the top portion. A tubular actuating shaft is rotatably supported by the housing and supports a single control lever. Throttle and transmission driving gears are disposed about the actuating shaft with the throttle driving gear being keyed to the shaft. A non-rotatable slider shaft is slideably supported within the actuating shaft and includes an annular recess in which a key is disposed, the key having a projection movable into and out of a slot in the transmission driving gear whereby the slider shaft may be pulled outwardly to disengage the key from the transmission driving gear to rotate the throttle driving gear independently of the transmission driving gear. The throttle driving gear is in meshing engagement with a throttle driven gear which is coaxially supported by the housing with a transmission driven gear, which is in turn in meshing engagement with the transmission driving gear. A pin is supported by the inward end of the slider shaft and projects through the housing to prevent rotation of the slider shaft and to engage a hole in the transmission driving gear for preventing rotation of the transmission driving gear when the slider shaft has been pulled outwardly whereby the throttle driving gear may be rotated independently of the transmission driving gear. A bracket is pivotally connected to the bottom portion of the housing and includes two axially spaced conduit receiving pockets. A projection is rotated upon rotation of the transmission driven gear and a switch means is supported by the housing to coact with the projection when the projection is in the neutral position whereby the engine may be started whenever the single lever is in the neutral position regardless of whether or not the single lever is in driving connection with the transmission driving gear through the key supported in the annular groove in the slider shaft.
