A remote valve control assembly broadly includes a lever assembly, a control plunger operably coupled with the lever assembly, and a case structure having a pair of case halves. The lever assembly includes a lever and a control handle having a detent pin. The case structure includes interior structure presenting a pivot and a plunger channel. The case structure also includes a single position detent slide mounted on one case half, and a double position detent slide on the other case half. The lever is retained in the case structure on the pivot for relative pivotal movement of the lever assembly between forward and aft positions. The detent pin is adapted to engage at least one of the detent slides for retaining the lever assembly in a desired position. The control handle is configured to selectively disengage the detent pin from the detent slides for movement of the lever assembly. The detent pin is shiftable between a single detent position for engaging the single position detent slide, and double detent position for engaging the double position detent slide. As a result, the control assembly may be placed in a single detent mode for retaining the rotating lever in a center position, and a double detent mode for retaining the rotating lever in the forward and aft positions.
