Morse KE-4a controls
(electronic control
— each lever controls
throttle AND shift)
The KE-4 set the standard for reliability
in marine electronic controls. Its
simplicity and proven design make it the
choice for most multi-station/multi-engine
control pleasure and work boats. KE-4a
controls are available in either single or twin
lever binnacle mount versions for single or
premium
multiple stations and up to two engines.
engine control
Applications:
Electronic stand-alone controls are ideal
for larger, multi-station boats, especially
those applications in which a mechanical
control cannot deliver the desired feel and
performance. For nearly all engine types.
(accepts these cables:)
Universal 3300/33C Types
Features:
Use KE-4a if . . .
Works with most engines: outboard, stern
drive or inboard.
• There are more than 2 stations.
• Throttle and Shift are actuated
mechanically (KE-4a has no electronic
throttle interface).
• Trolling valve control required.
• Throttle Sync only is needed.
• Electrical system is 12 or 24 volt.
• Hand-held remote desired.
Single or twin engine control; dual function
for each lever.
Up to 4 control heads.
Optional hand-held remote control: great
for docking and fishing!
Built-in Station Select switch.
Engine Sync option available.
Gear shift delay available.
• CANBus interface is not needed.
(If needed, see i6000.)
Neutral engine warm-up provision.
Mechanical backup (easy to use “get
home” system).
Built-in overload protection & diagnostics.
Visual failure alarm standard (audio alarm
optional).
NOTE: When properly installed, these engine
controls will connect to outboard, stern drive and
inboard engines, utilizing an electronic interface,
universal 3300/33C type cables and appropriate
engine connection kits.
Uses standard 3300/33C type control
cables on throttle/shift actuator.
Easy to install. Plug-in connectors.
12 and 24 volt capability.
Meets/exceeds all applicable industry
standards.
The boat's original mechanical control and 3300/33C
cables (if so equipped) can be reused for the "get home"
(emergency back-up) feature. The back-up control does not
have to be mounted, but be certain that the cables used
with this control are long enough so that the control can be
operated from the steering station.

NOTES:
Please refer to the NAME OF EACH PART on previous page for the item number in chart above.
All Wiring harnesses are measured in meters (1 meter = 39.37 inches).
CC633XX is recommended. Teleflex Control Cables are measured by the foot. XX = Control cable length in feet. For Morse, XXX = inches.
Using 20 amp circuit breaker NJ0514-00 is strongly recommended.
