OK,
Replacing a 1989 40 horse Johnson VRO with a 1975 Evinrude 70 horse. Pontoon has a binnacle controller. The engine end of the existing shift and throttle cable seem to be 2" too long on each, there is not enough adjustment with the black nut/adjuster. Would this swap require me to get different cables, or am I missing something? I though Johnnyrude cables were all the same, any advice?
