Hooking up 1984 8HP Evinrude to remote controls.....what is needed????

[JSGOLD]

I just bought a nice 8HP motor (E8RLCRM) and do not see how to hook it up to my Shipmaster control. I currently have an older 61' Evinrude 5.5 hooked up to them but won't be the same hookup I know. Is there a particular kit needed for this engine someone could point out for me? I am using type 400 cables. I see the shifter is similar but still need some help there and the throtte is vastly different.

hmmmm. I did some research online and read some old posts. Do not like what I see. Looks like this motor will be expensive to hook up, never dreamed I would run into this. Looks to be a 174120 kit, which seems to be around 176 bucks or so and does not even look like my cables would work. May still be a good find and a good motor but am thinking maybe I bought the wrong motor for me...:facepalm:
I am using as a kicker motor so not all is lost but wanted the steering and controls on both.....
