The choke is built into the Key; simply push it in before starting.
For my 1985 Mercury 35 HP 8 pin throttle controller, I bought a Mophorn. Everything worked fine, but there was a flaw in the key switch portion of the unit. Mophorn refused to replace the unit or refund my money, despite the fact that they had no idea why it was not working. Their solution was to give me a $35 credit to replace a $200 controller that had failed. You'll have a hard time persuading Mophorn to do anything. They didn't help me out in any way - even after admitting that their controller was broken and that they couldn't explain why. After dismantling theirs and discovering a wire that had never been connected, I eventually ordered a replacement key switch from someone else. If you have a problem with their products, don't buy them because they won't stand behind them.
To replace the old throttle control on my 1985 Mercury 35 HP 8 pin controller, I bought a Mophorn throttle control. When it was installed, it didn't work. When I contacted Mophorn, they advised me to send them a video demonstrating the problem. I sent two videos, one of which demonstrated how the key or the emergency switch would not shut off. Once it was up and running, I turned off the enging. Finally, they emailed me. They replied that they didn't know what was wrong and offered me a $35 credit in exchange for a $200 controller that was defective. Finally, I dismantled the throttle and ordered a key switch from a different vendor. I set it up over and over again. The engine is about to turn off. off, but it will now function properly. I eventually accepted the $35 credit because I figured it was better than nothing - As a result, I now own a $165 throttle controller that is completely useless. Mophorn should be avoided if at all possible. Spend a little more money on a better throttle controller from a reputable company.

This was a perfect match for the motor's new external 8-pin wiring harness. I wasn't sure if everything would fit together, but it does. It's very easy to set up. I coiled the cable out of sight because it was too long for my 16-foot boat. This weekend, I plan to run it down the river. The throttle/shifter tension control is adjustable, which I like. So far, I've been very pleased.
Thank you for a great product that arrived on time and left me feeling as if I had spent my entire life there.
Very nice throttle for the price, works well, and transitions between forward and reverse smoothly. br>Richard.
The installation was simple and quick; the only drawback was that the cable installation was difficult due to the tight space inside for my cables due to the setup.
I received exactly what I asked for. It's fantastic.
It was a perfect match. The transition is seamless.
I wasn't paying attention, and there was no tilt in the order.
