Cable type for F70 with Mercury controller.

[aburch4384]

I am trying to figure out what type of control cables I need on my franken-pontoon. It has an older Mercury binnacle controller and a 2015 Yamaha F70 motor. The controller is dated 2001 so I thought I needed gen 1 style mercury cables but now that I have them it doesn't seem like these will work on the motor side. Any idea what I need that will work with both? Thanks!

On some cables, the plastic ends come off. Look for a square head screw near the end of the fitting. Maybe you can reuse your Yammie ends?
