Marine Control Systems

Kobelt marine throttle controls have an enviable reputation for durability and performance. Our success is based on our extensive use of non-corrosive materials throughout our entire line of product. The predominant material used in all our controls is bronze. The absence of materials such as plastic, zinc, aluminum and steel put our boat controls into an exclusive class in terms of materials and workmanship.

Boat Throttle Control and Marine Propulsion Manufactured by Kobelt

There are different kinds of boat throttle controls and the optimal one will deliver maximum performance to the engine on your vessel. The propulsion or marine throttle control you choose should be the one that best fits the engine on your boat or ship. For over 60 years, Kobelt has been committed to manufacturing the finest marine engine controls in the world; including mechanical push pull controls, pneumatic controls and electronic controls.

Push-Pull Controls

The mechanical push-pull control system is a very simple and easily installed system for smaller boats. The equipment controlled by a system of this type must be relatively easy to operate. Kobelt provides a variety of hydraulic-actuated power assist units for use on clutch and throttle applications requiring additional mechanical force (Part No. 4602, 4605). We generally do not recommend the installation of more than two stations with push-pull cables. If the cable runs are relatively short and straight, it is possible to make a three-station system work. For a multi-station, single lever control system, a combination of wire-over-pulley and push-pull with our model 2051 master control works extremely well (for up to four stations).

The Kobelt single lever control heads 2042, 2043, 2044, 2046, 2047, 2048, 2050 and 2054 are designed to work as a one-station control only. The 2080 series and the 2090 series are designed for 2 stations. These controls provide single lever control for clutch and throttle from two stations and are available in single and twin engine configurations. This push-pull system (Patent No. CDN. 1206642, 1158136; US 4512451, 4280371, Further Patent Pending) has proven to be a tremendous success due to its exceptional performance and durability.

Pneumatic Controls

Kobelt pneumatic controls have been around for years and remain one of the most reliable means of control for marine propulsion packages and deck machinery. Our engineering department has done an excellent job in simplifying various designs by eliminating the part count while retaining all the essential safeguards for propulsion package timing. The simplicity in design, in conjunction with our selection of materials, makes Kobelt the number one choice for Pneumatic Marine Controls. Pneumatic Marine Controls lend themselves extremely well for multi-station remote control, interlocks and time delays, automatic load share and automatic load control. Kobelt can also provide all necessary alarms, control-consoles and console-tops for your complete turn-key package.
