[QUOTE="meonline06, post: 455234, member: 8570"] I got all of the motor cables run yesterday. My plan was to do some light modifications to the throttle and shift cables to marry the Evinrude motor to some Mercury controls. It wasn't until after I had everything hooked up that I realized the throttle action for the two manufacturers are opposite. Evinrude cables extend (at the motor) to advance the throttle, while Mercury cables retract to advance throttle. So...the day was a bust. And now I have to find an Evinrude control box. I did manage to mount the ignition switch to the console, so I truly just need the throttle/shifter. I also got the console completed and wrapped in carpet, unfortunately I forgot to take pictures after the whole throttle debacle. I probably won't get an opportunity to work on the boat for another week due to work and a road trip so stay tuned....I'm looking forward to water testing the new setup as soon as possible. [/QUOTE]
