Ed - You can make a Morse MT-3 work for you - I did. See previous photo also:

I agree - the BRP engine control is an ugly beast, and way too large for the Whaler console.

I would also agree that the lack of power trim control in the handles is not quite as convenient, but not a deal breaker either. The benefits of the ultra smooth MT-3, especially when fitted with the new super smooth Teleflex XTREME cables, more than make up for it. I have quickly gotten used to the separate Mercury trim panels (round) located underneath the control on the console face. Even with twins, not a big deal at all. I replaced the traditional small red knobs with the larger yacht style knobs from "Ongaro" (or something like that!

Another question - Do you know if Sue still sells the replacement (uncut) gage panels, as shown on the left side of that Montauk? As you can see in my photos, I need two.
