For what it's worth (since the controls may be completely different) I
have a boat with a YSE8 (Same vintage ans the YSB12) and I have a dual
lever control. The inner lever controls the transmission while the
outer control does the throttle.

Perhaps a picture postes elsewhere and a link here might help.

Has anyone ever seen the an engine control set like this? It has one
lever in the cockpit but with something like a center ring with a
short axle stubb sticking out as if it might have also had a second
lever next to it at one time.
Waaaay back in the darkened reaches of the bilge/engine/transmission,
ridiculously tiny crawlspace area where I almost got stuck and had to
cry out in a small shrill voice for help,.. you can see there are two
rusty cables coming off the business end of the lever control(s)
assembly. One goes to the throttle and one goes to the transmission.
Am I missing a second lever in the cockpit or does one lever run both
cables? Hope some of this makes sense. Thanks again and smooth sailing
to those of you in a position to sail.
