Ok starting a new thread
Well I mounted a 1973 65 hp Johnson to a 1652 Lowe Roughneck Side Console. I ran into an issue. The outboard came with controls but the cables are way too long. Also The controls don't have a trim switch on the handle. So I have come to several solutions but I don't know what would be best.
Convert the Mercury Controls (2006) that I have to work with the 1973 Johnson. (Don't know if this is possible)
Buy new controls and cables with a trim switch integrated into the lever arm.
Buy new cables of the right length to work with johnson control box and get the teleflex dual trim switch to run the power tilt and jack plate.
