    Anyone know were to find the older EC251 controllers? I diagnosed my reverse not going into gear due to the controller for the Starboard engine. Looking to buy a refurb or get mine refurb while waiting on a new system.
    Also any recommendations on either the Glendinning throttle and controller or the twin disc EC600? Running CAT C18 with MGX series twin disc transmissions.

    Do not waste your time with Twin Disc for repair. I sent in a control box with a bad board. I was told it was to old for them to repair. It was 12 years old. Go with Glendinning. Great service and support.

    I agree, go with Glendinning and don't look back. I have three stations pilot house, fly bridge, and cockpit. I like them better than the newer Twin Disc controls on my previous boat because you can feel the positive detent when going into neutral, forward, and reverse. My boat has huge wheels and significant hp and when shifting into gear you better be ready, like rip the cleats off the dock ready.
