Abstract
A control device for a marine propulsion system includes a base and at least two levers. Each one of the levers is supported by the base at a first end for pivotal movement about a common pivot axis and extending generally normal to the pivot axis to have a second end. The second end has a grip. The grip of one of the levers extends toward the second end of the other one of the levers. The respective grips are nested with each other when the levers extend generally parallel to each other.

A control device for a marine propulsion system comprising a base and at least two levers, each one of the levers being supported by the base at a first end for pivotal movement about a common pivot axis and extending generally normal to the pivot axis, each lever terminates above the base at a second end, the second end having a grip, the grip of one of the levers extending toward the second end of the other one of the levers, and the respective grips nesting with each other when the levers extend generally parallel to each other.
A control device for a marine propulsion system comprising a base, at least two outer levers, and one intermediate lever interposed between the two outer levers, each one of the outer and intermediate levers being supported by the base at a first end for pivotal movement about a common pivot axis and extending generally normal to the pivot axis to have a second end opposite of the first end, the second end of each outer lever having a grip extending toward the second end of the intermediate lever, the second end of the intermediate lever having grips extending toward the second ends of the respective outer levers, and the respective grips being nested with each other when the levers extend generally parallel to each other.
