    More Bling!

    Got tired of having to "reach back" for the HEAVY Mercury Shifter so replaced it with a lightweight one like I've used on my other boats for years!
    Pretty sure I'll be replacing the Carbon Fiber with a thin piece of matching fiberglass, possibly stainless or spun alum. but I had to have something to cover that gawdaweful hole that it takes for the factory shifter!!!
    Not recommended for Idiots but the Neutral Start Switch is bypassed as I start in gear 90% of the time which adds life the the lower!
    Before & After:

    Thanks Y'all!!
    I had forgotten just how heavy the Merc control box was until I took this one out! It's been years since I've installed one because I always use a hotfoot and one of these Billet Shifters made by CP Performance....which BTW now are avail in alot of different anodized colors!
    They're also avail with a neutral lock button for those who need it!

    That is bad "Arse" and a plus one on starting in gear and saving the lower unit, "Smart"!
