Description
The Spinlock ATCU Throttle Control is a beautifully engineered, single-lever throttle control designed for sailors who demand the same precision and feel in engine control as they do in sail handling.Crafted in the UK, the ATCU delivers smooth, positive shifting and throttle modulation with minimal hand movement – essential for tight manoeuvres in marinas, racing starts, or single-handed sailing.
Features
- Ultra-low-profile ceramic-coated aluminium body – only 95 mm total height above deck
- Single-lever operation – combines gear shift and throttle in one intuitive motion
- Friction-adjustable throttle resistance – dial in exactly the feel you want, from light to firm
- Positive neutral detent with optional audible “click” upgrade
- Red/green shift direction indicators moulded into the lever
- 316 stainless steel mechanism and fixings – built for lifelong marine use
- Easy-action shift – requires less than 25 mm lever travel to fully engage forward or reverse
- Compatible with most mechanical Morse-type cables (33C, 43C, and most 10 mm / 30-series)
- Simple drop-in retrofit – fits standard 90 mm cut-out used by Vetus, Morse, and Ultraflex
