Our C&C 35-3 came with plastic control levers. They always felt close
to failing so we replaced them with Stainless Steel Edson levers from
Defender. Expensive but well worth it. It is a terrible feeling when
the lever breaks at the worst time. We had the side mounted
shift/throttle control break the mounting screws approaching a bridge
with the current pushing us toward it on our Redwing 35. Dove below and
had to manually shift the A4 to keep us stationary while the bridge
opened. Also had a friend who liked to come into his slip fast and
quick reverse to stop until his shifter broke off in his hand. I jumped
off the boat and managed to get it stoppped before he Forest Gump'd the
dock.

A friend’s circa 1980 36 shift lever broke while docking this
weekend. It was an exciting docking maneuver with crew climbing into
the engine to manually shift but all is well. Any advice on obtaining
a replacement?
Edson system with separate throttle and shift levers each in its own
tube either side of the pedestal. Lever is cast aluminum
