Among the most-handled items aboard a boat, throttle and shift controls qualify as essential marine equipment. Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Products offers a full line of reliable aftermarket replacement and OEM upgrade control arms and knobs. They add authority and style to any helm.

Ideal for boat builders and owners seeking durability and classic good looks, Schmitt & Ongaro control knobs and arms are made of 316 cast stainless steel. All models feature Ongaro patented designs, meet ABYC requirements, and are covered by a lifetime warranty.

Shift and throttle knobs come with a 3/8″-24 thread and a choice of either a 1-1/2″ or 1-7/8″ diameter. They’re compatible with Sea Star Solutions (formerly Teleflex), Morse and Hynautic controls, among other manufacturer brands. Throttle knobs are grooved for feel and colored for sight, with red or gold striping.

Schmitt & Ongaro arm choices start with a Standard model for Teleflex Morse Twin SR and CH56CC controls. The Yacht Arm, with a Palm Beach-style integrated handle, works with most single lever side mount controls. A patented Yacht Arm version includes a built-in switch for bow thruster control. Schmitt & Ongaro dual arm sets include one shift lever with a solid knob, and one throttle lever with a grooved knob in a choice of red or gold striping accents.
