 QUICK SELECTION GUIDE FOR PUSH-PULL CONTROLS

This guide will take you from general questions to a specific Kobelt product to meet your needs. If you are replacing another manufacturer’s
control, use the replacement guide on the bottom of page 5. After selecting a control, you will probably need some accessories to connect
the control head to cables, or the engine. Please refer to the accessories section on page 24.

NUMBER OF STATIONS
If you want to be in control at 1 or 2 locations (“stations”), then push-pull controls will work for you. If you have 3 or more stations,
push-pull might work but generally people should use Electronic, or Pneumatic or Wire-Over-Pulley controls.

We recommend Electronic controls for most three station systems. ELEC EE

SIZE OF VESSEL
Push-Pull is a mechanically connected system. It uses cables to connect control heads to the clutch and throttle. If the total length of
cable is less than 50 feet (15 meters), push-pull can work for you. If the cables need to have many bends, or the connection length is
more than 50 feet, Electronic controls would be the best choice. That depends largely on how easy it is to operate the clutch and engine
interfaces. Some are very stiff and need a powered actuator.

There are vessels with 80 feet of push-pull cable that work well. If you need more than 50 feet for a push-pull system, please contact us.
We would need to evaluate your requirements. Please tell us:
- the number of cable bends,
- the cable length, and
- the number of stations.
We will give you our recommendation for a good working control system.

Tech Tip: For 2 station systems, the cable length is considered to be the total length for both stations. For example, a 20 foot cable to one station, plus a 30 foot run for the other station,
is a total of 50 feet. If you are using more than 30 feet of cable, you should use the 40 series cable. It will last longer and run smoother.

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE?

A) SEPARATE HANDLES: ONE FOR CLUTCH AND ONE FOR THROTTLE

B) COMBINED CLUTCH AND THROTTLE: “SINGLE LEVER”

Some people prefer to separate the clutch and throttle into separate handles.

Others prefer combining the clutch and throttle in one handle. This is called “Single Lever” control: From the neutral position, push
forward to engage the clutch and then push further for forward speed. Reverse is achieved by pulling back from the middle position to
engage the clutch. Pulling back further would increase the reverse speed.

A) SEPARATE HANDLES: ONE FOR CLUTCH AND ONE FOR THROTTLE

EVERY CONTROL HAS VERY FLEXIBLE ORDERING OPTIONS.

ONE ENGINE
Order one 2009-AK . The 2009 is our most popular push-pull control head.
The control shown on the left is the “AK” version. The “A” means that the
control comes with one long handle for clutch, and one short handle for
throttle. The clutch handle has an adjustable neutral detent. A detent gives
you a “click” so you know where neutral is (without looking at the control).
2009-AK
The throttle handle has an adjustable friction so you can get the right feel
for your control. “K” is for a chrome finish. There are many other options
available to you. Options are explained on the individual product pages.

TWO ENGINES
Order two 2009-AK or if you want both clutch handles on the same
control head, order:
One 2009-BK Controls Two Clutches, and
One 2009-FK Controls Two Throttles.
2009-BK 2009-FK
The “BK” has two long handles, each with an adjustable neutral detent.
The “FK” has two short handles with adjustable frictions.
If you have two stations, simply double the quantity that you need.

The following controls can be substituted for the 2009:

2011 This product is a heavy duty version of the 2009 and is better
for longer cable runs.
2012 This product is the toughest push-pull control available and
also allows for 4” stroke. 2015
2014 Illuminated control head (for those quiet nights at sea).
2015 A different style and fewer options. e.g. No Interlock.
The ordering options for these substitutes are similar to the 2009.
e.g. 2011-AK is for one long handle with a neutral detent (Clutch), and one
2014
short handle with friction (Throttle). The individual product descriptions will
give you all the details you might need.

THREE OR MORE ENGINES

We offer a stackable control head that is commonly used by the premium
race boats. This is our 2016 control head. This model shows two throttles
and two clutches. We can make any combination of handles to meet your
needs.
If you have two stations, simply order two identical control heads. 2016

 B) COMBINED CLUTCH AND THROTTLE: “SINGLE LEVER”

ONE ENGINE

One Station
Order one 2046-KUZ. The 2046 is our most popular single-lever control. It
has various appearance options. Some of the options are:
• Curved or straight handles.
• Chrome, black, or polished bronze

Alternatively, you can choose one of these other controls:

2050 Very Heavy Duty control head, and has a separate small
lever for throttle (engine warm up). 2046-KUZ
2042 Side mount control (mounts on side of panel, not top).
2043 Side mount control for heavy duty situations like
controlling a small water jet’s bucket.

Two Stations
This is the best two station system on the market. The unique design is very
easy to operate. Order: 2093 KYZ
One 2091-KYZ Primary control head, and 2091 KYZ
One 2093-KYZ Secondary control head.
“KYZ” means chrome, straight handles, and a metal label on the dome.

The 2091 can be substituted with either of these controls:

2095 Illuminated primary control.
2081 Has a separate small lever for trolling.
2085 Illuminated version of 2081.
2044-91 Side mount primary control.

The 2093 can be substituted with:

2097 Illuminated secondary control.

TWO ENGINES

One Station
The 2047-KUZ is a twin engine version of the 2046 control head.
“KUZ” means chrome, curved handles and a metal label on the dome.

Alternatively, two single engine controls can be used, such as the 2046.

2047-KUZ

Two Stations
This is very similar to the 2091 and 2093 system. The 2092 is simply a twin
engine primary control head. To have a twin engine, two station, single
lever control system, order:
One 2092-KYZ Primary control for twin engine, and
One 2094-KYZ Secondary control.

The 2092 can be substituted with:

2096 Illuminated primary control.

The 2094 can be substituted with:

2098 Illuminated secondary control. 2020-K3

THREE OR MORE ENGINES

For three or more engines, single station, we offer the 2020 Control head.
Information for this new product is on page 12 of this brochure.

cable is employed. The long handle on both units provides from 3” to 6” of stroke. The
short handle on Model 2031 will give from 1” to 3” of stroke. It is possible to use either
model on a two-station (in series) application whereby two levers are provided on the
backside of the control for the connection of two cables, one to the remote station and
one to the item to be controlled. The all bronze and stainless steel construction will
give years of trouble-free service. 2031

Single Station Use Only

The 2046 and 2048 single lever control heads went through years of engineering and feasibility
studies before we presented these products to the market. These control heads are a major evolution
in single lever control because of their construction, design, size, price and options which puts them in
a class by themselves; just like all other Kobelt products. They provide a pull-out handle for overriding
throttle, roller detents and enumerable options. The clutch travel is maximum 3” (76mm) and throttle travel
is maximum 1-5/8” (41mm). The 2048 consists of two 2046s jointed on a common frame and dome.
An optional throttle stroke extension kit is available for Models 2046 and 2048. It will extend throttle
stroke to 2-5/8” and contains all necessary parts to connect either a 33 or 43 series cable.

Single Station Use Only

The 2050 and 2054 are super heavy duty control heads using basically the same components
except for the dome and handles. All materials are non-corrosive and are designed for years of
trouble-free service. The maximum travel for the clutch is 3” (76mm) and the maximum throttle 2050
travel is 2-1/2” (64mm) for the 2050. While the clutch travel for the 2054 is the same, the throttle
stroke is 2” (50mm). Various connection points provide the correct travel needed for your engine
and gear. The small overriding throttle handle is only operative in the neutral gear position which
prevents gear engagement at high engine speed. The 2054 (the same as 2008 and 2014) is
equipped with light sockets for illumination. Dimmers can be provided to regulate the light effect
to suit the owner. Many boats equipped with our 2050 series control heads have push-pull cable
runs up to 75 ft. (23m) and work very satisfactorily with Felsted cables.

The 2051 single lever push-pull control is basically the same as model 2050. It has, in
addition, a wire-over-pulley sheave on the single lever control shaft which permits a multi
station wire-over-pulley remote control. This arrangement has proven extremely satisfactory
on small workboats and large pleasure crafts. Due to the ball bearing sheaves and endless
cable, no friction is accumulated and the control is effortless. The bronze and stainless steel
construction will provide many years of trouble-free service.

 2 0 8 0 SERIES
Single Lever, Single Engine Control, with Overriding and Interlocked Throttle Control
Model 2081
This control operates basically on the same principle as the model 2090 with the exception
that the overriding throttle is on a separate lever. The throttle lever serves the prime function of
accelerating the engine while the main single lever control handle is in the neutral position. It is
not possible to operate both levers at the same time since they are mechanically interlocked.

Single Lever, Single Engine Control, with Separate Trolling Valve Lever
Model 2085
This control is ideally suited for one or two station applications that require trolling valve
control. An interlock incorporated in this unit will only allow for trolling valve control at low
engine R.P.M. The second station can be equipped with or without trolling valve control.

Remote Control with either overriding Throttle or Trolling Valve Control

Model 2083
The purpose of this unit is to serve as a remote station with either Model 2081 or 2085. The
secondary lever is interconnected with the overriding throttle on Model 2081 or the trolling valve
control lever on Model 2085. The main single lever control is connected to the remote unit with 2081
pull-pull cables (47 series.) For a second station throttle and clutch only use Model 2093.

209 0 SERIES – TWO STAT I O N S I N G L E L E V E R C O N T R O L S
The 2090 Series is the only control of its type in the world and offers the
ultimate in simplicity, performance and durability. On a two-station system
both handles move together. For this reason only two control heads and four
cables are required for a complete single engine two-station system.
With all other controls of this type the control must be put into
neutral when going from one station to the next, the clutch re-engaged
and the engine accelerated at the next station. These systems, requiring
five components and seven cables, are constructed mainly from corrosive
materials. They do not work as well as Kobelt Controls and are more
expensive. For the short time that the 2090 Series Control System has been
on the market it has proven to be a tremendous success.

2 1 2 3 UNIVERSAL CABLE TRANSFER UNIT
The Universal Cable Transfer Unit is a very useful device in Push-Pull
Control systems where motion reversal is necessary or where the span of
movement must be altered. The ability to connect cables (up to 4) at various
connection points on the opposite side of the main lever provides all these
functions. It is possible to increase the stroke from 3” to 4” cable or reduce
the stroke from 3” to 2” cable. Construction is all bronze and stainless steel.

2 1 2 4 COMPOUND UNIT
The Compound Unit was developed for two-station applications and for
use on compound engine arrangements. On two-station applications, long
cables sometimes require the use of 40 series cable from the wheelhouse
to the engine room, but many in-board/out-board engines are designed for
connection to a 30 series cable. The Compound Unit can be installed just
below the wheelhouse floor. Both stations are connected to it with a 30 or 40
series cable which runs to the clutch throttle. On compound engine instal-
lations, the control cable runs into the Compound Unit and two cables lead
away to the separate engine throttles.

Cable connection kits are available for any combination of cables.

Catch-A-Bolt
This universal adaptor kit was developed in order to avoid
stocking hundreds of different adaptor kits. Its title explains its
function. Virtually any bolt, or preferably two bolts on the gear
or engine, close to cable attaching point, can be used to install
this universal adaptor kit. With its linkage and swivelling ends,
cables can be run directly to the clamping bracket and allow
easy cable installation; this avoids costly designing and fabrica-
tion. It can be used for parallel or series installations.

2 1 7 0 ELECTRIC CLUTCH CONTROL

Kobelt Manufacturing has developed an electric gearshift adaptor
which can be connected to all Push-Pull controls (Single and Two Lever
except Model 2010).
The purpose of this adaptor is to control electrically actuated clutch
controls.
The electric gear shift adaptor is easily installed in the control head.
On a two lever system, a second station can be connected with Push-Pull
cables to the master station. Solenoid valves are provided by the gear box
manufacturer to actuate the forward and reverse direction in the marine

HYDRAULIC SERVO CYLINDERS
Push-pull cables are not suitable for heavy workloads and become too stiff when operating 4602
heavy clutches and throttles. The wear and tear make it uneconomical. In order to solve these
problems, Kobelt Manufacturing provides several servo cylinders which work off hydraulic
pressure. They can be used to operate C.P. propeller lever mechanisms, hard-to-handle
governor levers, jet drive buckets, etc. We can also provide controls for mechanically-actuated
reverse reduction gearboxes, if a source of hydraulic pressure is made available (150-450
p.s.i.). In all of these systems the hydraulic cylinder provides infinite, fingertip control. It does
not generate any unwanted stiffness in the push-pull system. As with all other Kobelt products
you can expect years of trouble-free service.

Model 4602
(Model 4601 not shown)
4605
The 4601 and 4602 are frequently used to control stiff throttles. The output signal is
directly proportional to the input signal. Together with a 3015 pressure hold-back valve these
units can also be used as hydraulic throttle delays using gear oil. This, however, lends itself
only to gears having a differential pressure from the neutral position to the engaged position.

Model 4605
The 4605 cylinders consist of a double acting cylinder and a mechanically actuated spool-
type directional control valve. These cylinders are commonly used for accurate positioning of jet 4607

buckets, controlling of C.P. propeller lever mechanisms and mechanical gear boxes.

Model 4607
The purpose of the 4607 is to provide a power assist for hard to move push-pull cable
systems. Its maximum torque is 120 in-lbs. A terminal strip is provided for connecting either
a 12V or 24V power supply. In order to install the wire, the cover for the terminal strip must
be removed and the wire must be inserted through the connector provided and fed through to
the terminal strip. The positive wire must be connected to the red wire and the negative to the
white; correct polarity is imperative so as to not damage the unit. The terminal strip is located
on the mechanical input side.
The cable coming from the control head must be connected to the input side. A pointer is
provided on the shaft to indicate its position, since the bracket can be installed in six different
ways. The lever must be removed to coincide with bracket and cable lead. The pointer must not be removed since it is the only indication
for mid position. On the output side, the bracket can be installed in eight different ways. A 3” stroke cable can be installed on the input
side and a 4” cable can be on the output side. By installing the input cable (3” stroke) on the second hole from the end of the input
lever, and installing the output cable on the last hole on the

 2 0 9 0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation instructions for 2090 Series
When installing the control heads, it is important that they are located on a clean,flat surface which is easily accessible. The cables leading from
the main control head to the reverse reduction gear and the propulsion engine throttle should be installed and made functional first. It is important
that the following points are carefully observed.
As illustrated in the drawing in Position A (showing the clutch actuating pivot plate in the gear engaged position and the control handle in the
full speed position) the cable must pass slightly beyond the attaching point on the clutch actuating pivot plate in the pull mode. The cable must also
go slightly beyond position B in the push mode with the control head in a full speed position.
In order to obtain equal excess travel in both positions on the cable, the adaptor kit cable-end must be adjusted accordingly. After the proper
position is found, the cable-end is attached to the clutch actuating pivot plate. The locking nut must be secured. This will ensure that no mechani-
cal binding takes place in the cable or the control head. It is also very important that the clutch control valve goes from neutral to both gear engaged
positions without bottoming. A slight amount of end play is essential.
The throttle cable attached to the throttle actuating cam must also operate within the available stroke of the cable and the adaptor kit cable-end
must be adjusted in such a manner to avoid bottoming of the control cable in either direction. In order to obtain full handle travel in the speed range
it is important to select the appropriate connection point to the adaptor kit on the throttle cam.
After the master station is connected to the engine the cables can be connected from this station to the remote station. It is important that the
cables are the right length. Too short a cable can result in tight bends which will increase friction. Too long a cable will also result in extra loops
which again generate additional friction. Either of the above can make this control stiff and difficult to operate.
After the cable is attached with the clamps on the bottom of the supports of the control heads, the chain can be placed over the sprocket. When
the control head is in the neutral position (handle in mid-position), the loose ends of the chain should be equally long on either side of the sprocket.
The cable core is equipped with two nuts on either end. One of the nuts must be removed and the cable-end passed through the adaptor link. The nut
can now be reinstalled.
It is also important to remember that the cable must be crossed between the control heads in order to get the handles to move in the same
direction (the forward cable from the master station is attached on the aft side of the remote station and the forward cable of the remote station is
attached to the aft side of the master station). The cables have enough thread at the end to allow balancing of the handles at both stations. This
is best accomplished by placing the master station in the neutral position (handle straight up). The adjusting nuts at the end of the cable can now
be tightened or loosened as required to balance the handles. Over-tightening of the cable core will result in excessive friction and will make the
control system very stiff and difficult to operate. A deflection of 3/8”–1/2” in the cable to either side between the sprocket and cable conduit clamp
is essential. It is important that the two nuts and the cable-end are secured tightly against the adapting link. Two wrenches (3/8”) must be used to
accomplish this task. Under no circumstances must the chain be twisted when tightening these nuts.

Use only Felsted pull-pull cables to interconnect head and Felsted 40 series push-pull cables from control to gearbox/engine.
It is extremely important that all screws and nuts be securely tightened before the boat is placed into operation.

is of utmost importance that the cylinder be of the balanced type.

“Balanced” means that the cylinder piston rod extends
out of both ends of the cylinder tube, giving an equal volume
of oil on both sides of the cylinder piston. This ensures a
balanced torque on the steering components, as well as an

 THE MIGHTY MARINER – MECHANICAL

The system is comprised of the basic 6505S control head in combination with the
6527-S electronic actuator, both in sturdy bronze and stainless steel.

The control head is completely watertight from the topside* and can be used
in any location onboard. The 6527-S actuator is a stand-alone actuator= with
manual override. The electronics are stored in the housing of the actuator itself,
eliminating the need for a separate microprocessor unit. This simplified control
system is perfectly suited for most boats, and has all the extra safety features
found exclusively at Kobelt.

The Mighty Mariner is designed for Do-it-yourself installation. Communication is

via a CAN Bus. This system offers up to 4 stations with station interface, station
lock, overriding throttle and synchronizationO.

THE MIGHTY MARINER – ELECTRONIC

The Mighty Mariner system can be used with Electronic Clutch and
Throttle interfaces.

The control heads are the same. However, a model 6503 processor is
used to:
• Monitor all the input information from control heads and switch panels
• Communicate to the control heads and sonalerts
• Operate a clutch solenoid
• Operate the throttle signal for the engine

The 6505-2000 remote selector panel (shown on right) extends the

 WE ALSO MAKE…
WIRE-OVER-PULLEY CONTROLS
Of all the various types of mechanical marine propulsion controls available, our
experience has shown that the endless wire-over-pulley system gives accuracy and best
response. The push-pull control, even with the finest components, will reach a point where
it cannot meet certain requirements, i.e. long cable runs with many bends and several
stations. At this point, if mechanical controls are required, we recommend the endless wire-
over-pulley control system. Although this type of control requires a little more planning and
installation time than the push-pull system, its operation is extremely sensitive and light.
The wire-over-pulley controls can be partially incorporated into push-pull systems as
well as pneumatic systems. In fact, we manufacture all control components required for
push-pull, wire-over-pulley and pneumatic systems.
Wire-over-pulley components are available for either two lever or single lever
installations.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLS
We manufacture all components for any type of pneumatic control system. Best suited for vessels
anywhere between 50 to 600 feet (15 to 180m),this control system features a limitless number of control
stations. As additional stations do not affect the performance of the control system, the control heads
move effortlessly, regardless of the distance or force required. The pneumatic control system, therefore,
is one of the most flexible systems we offer. We can automate and synchronize as much, or as little, of
your propulsion equipment as desired. We offer propulsion timing packages,to protect your propulsion
equipment, with and without shaft brakes.

DISC SHAFT BRAKES

Kobelt has been designing and manufacturing disc brake systems for over 30
years. Most of our older brake calipers were manufactured in sand-cast bronze.
Now most models are made entirely of die-cast silicon bronze with stainless steel
hardware, more uniform in design and also more cost-effective. All of our calipers
are available in either fluid or spring applied configurations. We also design brake
discs to go with our die-cast calipers. All discs are ventilated and can be used for
medium to heavy duty applications. Several types of brake linings are also available
to conform with environmental guidelines.
