I have a failed Merc commander 3000 control box.
It's for '97 60 HP 3 cyl. Mariner w/trim tilt. Merc carries parts
for the failed unit but does not carry the 'guts' or gear box itself.
Rebuilding 'guts' is too labor intensive.
May have to replace the the entire system
w/ Merc's 'new' control replacement part Gen II 4000, which requires
replacing all cables etc.,etc.
Hoping some one has ideas on how to find the 'guts' or shifter
gear box itself, that's the easiest fix. If I can find entire 3000 would
be next easiest fix. Or just replace entire system with Gen II 4000-
more expensive-more install pain plan. Want 'new' part and am checking
Ebay, have Merc mechanic waiting, and don't want to hold you guys
up at the dock with shifter trouble ... Thanxxx
