Introduction
The Teleex Marine MV3-E Control is designed to provide convenient, one hand, single lever operation
of shift and throttle for most popular inboards equipped with hydraulic reverse gears and stern drives with
MEFI V engine control module.
A safety feature of the MV3-E is a Neutral Locking Hand Lever. It can only be disengaged from Neutral by
raising the lifter under the ball knob. The MV3-E accepts Teleex Marine 33 style cables.
Important Safety Notices
Teleex Marine Controls highly recommends the installation and usage of an engine emergency shut-off switch
as an important safety feature for Class “A” and Class “1” boats. This switch should be connected by a cord to
the boat driver. This shut-off switch is not a standard part of the control you are using.
Control Congurations
The MV3-E Control can only be mounted in a horizontal position.
WARNING:
Do not remove the hand lever to change position.

User Manual: MV3-E Hybrid Controls Page 5
Operation
MV3-E Side Mount Control
Neutral Interlock Ring
To prevent bumping the MV3-E side mount control out of neutral,
a Neutral Interlock Ring has been installed as a preventative
safety feature.
Operation:
• When the Control Hand Lever is in Neutral, lift the Neutral
Interlock Ring and move the lever forward or reverse to
engage the gears.
Neutral Throttle Warm-up Button
This feature provides a “Throttle Only” option to operate the
engine throttle without going into gear.
Operation:
•When the Control Hand Lever is in Neutral, lift the Neutral
Interlock Ring and pull out the Neutral Throttle Warm-up button
at the same time.
•While holding the ring and button (releases), move the lever
forward to throttle up the engine.
•When the handle is returned to the Neutral position, the releases
will reset automatically.
•Once the releases reset, the Control Hand Lever will work both
shift and throttle functions.

Installation
Location of Control
Choose a mounting location for the control head which will provide comfortable operation of the hand lever,
unobstructed movement of mechanism arms and a clear path for cables to engine.
1. Allow adequate clearance for hand and lever swing (forward and reverse positions). See page 13 for the
control dimensions and the recommended clearance around and behind the mounting surface.
2. Allow adequate clearance under the console or in the gunwale for the cables AND allow a minimum of 36”
from the cable nest connection with no restraint. When supporting the cables beyond 36”, do not tie or clamp
tightly.
3. After a suitable location for the control is determined, use the separate mounting template to make the cut-out.
The templates are supplied with the control (also see mounting dimensions on page 14).
4. Closely follow the instructions provided on the template. Cut and drill the mounting holes required.
Measuring the Shift Cable
Measure the cable routing path from the control head connection to the engine connection.
Inboards & Stern Drives
Measure from the control connection -- along an unobstructed cable routing -- to the SHIFT connection.
Round this dimension UP to the next whole foot and order the required cable part number.
(Last two digits of the Teleex cable number equal the length of the cable in feet.)
NOTE: To determine the correct control assembly for inboards with hydraulic transmissions, you must
determine if the Shift Cable “pulls” or “pushes” to go into forward.

Shift Cable Connection - Engine End
See engine or stern drive instructions for shift cable connection.
Installation
Shift Cable Connection - Control End
Connect Shift Cable To Control
1. Insert shift cable through opening in hanger assembly in line with shift arm pivot attachment hole and lock
cable in hanger slot.
2. Screw pivot onto cable rod, allowing threads to protrude through pivot 1/8” for standard travel or 1/4” for
long travel.
3. Lubricate pivot with grease, then insert into required hole in shift arm. Fasten with cotter pin. Tighten cable
nut against pivot.
CAUTION:
The pivot must be in the hole nearest to the cable entry end of the control. Using the hole in the shift
arm (furthermost away from the cable mounting) support will produce unequal shift travel between the
“neutral to forward’ and the “neutral to reverse” positions; resulting in improper shift action.
To obtain standard (2 3/4 inch) cable shift travel at the engine use the shift arm on the control at the short pivot
hole location.
For Mercury, long (3 inch) cable shift travel at the engine is necessary. Assemble the shift arm to the control
using longest pivot hole location.
NOTE: The Control Shift Lever and the Transmission Shift Lever must coincide at the "Forward," "Neutral,"
and "Reverse" positions. Different makes of transmissions my require different amounts of shift travel. For
this reason, the Control Shift Lever is provided with two positions for attaching the shift cable: one for the
standard travel and one for the longest travel.

Throttle Wiring Harness
Installation of the Wiring Harness
A wire harness must be prepared for connection of the MV3-E control head to the engine TAC module. Every
boat is different and there may be several ways to route the harness. Inside the boat there is often a channel or
conduit used for wiring. This can also be used to route the wire harness for the MV3-E control.
When routing the wiring harness, care must be taken not to damage the cable insulation. If a harness is short,
replace it with a correct length harness. Don’t add a short harness to make up the required length. Run the
harness over the shortest and straightest possible path. Secure the harness every 2 feet (0.6 m) with stainless
steel screws and mounting head ties or clamps. Excess harness length should be neatly coiled and secured with
nylon ties. The mounted harness should be as far as practical from high current wires or wiring runs and should
not be subjected to water, fuel, lubricants, or excess heat.
Preparation of the Control Head Wiring Harness
Measure from the control head mounting location along unobstructed wire runs to the engine module.
Round measurement to the next whole foot and add additional length if uncertain.
Prepare harness as shown in the diagram on the next page. It is recommended that conductors be stranded tinned
copper (UL 1426 or equivalent), 18 AWG min. Colors shown are optional.
Connection of the Wiring Harness
NOTE: Always connect the wiring harness to the Control Head before connecting to the engine. The engine
connection should not be made until the control has been completely installed.
Ensure that the watertight seal is in place and connect the 6-pin connector from the completed harness assembly
into the rear of the potentiometer mounted on the control head mechanism. The connector should be fully seated
and latched for proper operation.

Installation
Mount the Control
1. Run the cable, which is connected to the control, back to the shift location of the engine and drive.
2. The cables should run as straight as possible, avoiding any sharp bends. Make no bends in the cable of less
than 8 inch (203.2 mm) radius.
3. Shift the control into “Forward” to move shift arm out of the way. This allows the control to be inserted into
the cut out.
4. When satised with the position of the control, fasten the housing to the mounting surface with three (3) #10
thread cutting screws. One screw is 1.50 inches (38.1mm).
Shift Cable Connection and Adjustment
The shift cable must be connected so that the “Forward,” “Neutral,” and “Reverse” positions of the control shift
lever will coincide with the forward, neutral and reverse positions of the transmission lever.
Readjust the cable terminals until the correct function of the shift lever is achieved. Proper adjustment of the
shift cable will result in a much better operating control.
Overjamming the transmission stop on either end of the shift travel may:
1. Cause excessive wear of the drive and the shift gear.
2. Result in a “heavy” feel of the hand lever; and / or
3. Over-stress and damage the cable.

Page 12 User Manual: MV3-E Hybrid Controls
Maintenance and Corrosion Protection
For maximum protection, especially in a saltwater environment, the control head and hand lever should be
washed lightly with fresh water on a regular basis.
• Periodically check the control head mechanism for loose fasteners and signs of wear on moving parts.
• Keep moving parts well lubricated with a moisture-displacing lubricant.
• Periodically check the cables and engine connections for signs of wear and corrosion. Replace as necessary.
