Description
Overview
The Fork and Lever Cap Assembly with bushed billet housing delivers strength and smooth operation for marine gearbox control systems. Argomarine machines this assembly from billet aluminium and adds a brass bushing insert to reduce friction. As a result, the unit ensures consistent lever action, durability, and reliability. Customers can select from black (AM1040B) or silver (AM1040S) finishes.
Features
-
Brass bushed billet housing lowers friction and extends service life.
-
Choice of anodised black or silver finish to match marine installations.
-
Precision machining guarantees accurate lever control.
-
Billet aluminium body withstands marine vibration and heavy use.
Specifications and Materials
CNC-machined billet aluminium provides strength and tight tolerances. The brass bushing insert delivers low-friction movement and resists corrosion in saltwater environments. Available finishes include anodised black (AM1040B) and anodised silver (AM1040S).

Compatibility and Fitment
This assembly suits marine gearbox and lever systems requiring billet housing with a brass bush. The AM1040B (black) and AM1040S (silver) models perform identically, differing only by finish. Consequently, you can choose the colour that fits your vessel without sacrificing performance.
Compliance and Safety
Use protective gloves and eye protection when installing this assembly. Furthermore, apply the correct torque settings on all fasteners to prevent wear or misalignment.
Marine Applications
Marine engineers and boat owners rely on this assembly for precise gearbox control. For example, cruisers and performance boats benefit from smooth lever action, while workboats gain durability under continuous load. In addition, the billet aluminium body resists impact and vibration, ensuring long-term reliability.
Why Choose Argomarine
Argomarine combines billet aluminium with brass bushings to deliver assemblies that outperform standard cast units. Furthermore, the black and silver finishes allow visual matching without compromising durability. When reliability and smooth control matter, Argomarine assemblies provide the professional-grade choice.
