Need control cables, what type?

[DamianJP]

Hey guys

I need control cables for my 1993 Mercury 15HP. I dont know if the control box matches the motor or what. It's got a place for a instrument cluster output and trim and tilt wires. Below pics of where the cable barrel(s) go and the control box is to give you an idea of what I would need.

Also if someone could post a picture of what the inside on the motor of the same year or barrel retainer type where the barrel plugs into, so I can get an idea of how it goes. I bought the retaining clips and such but I cant figure it out, or mabey I have the wrong barrel ends.

I see on ebay there diffrent generations/types. I need to know which on ebay to get.

Thanks,
DamianJP

Damien;

Not too sure what you are driving at but that box looks like a Commander 2000:

It is also in the Merc Controls newest manual:

Is this the engine you are converting from tiller to remote and do you have the mechanical parts for the conversion?

Thanks for the manual link!!!

Well I bought this motor as a kicker for my dad's boat at first. Its set up for remote ATM. Put it on his boat but not permanent . Then thought mabey when I use a jon boat I could take it off his boat and and use it as the main engine on there. I see how costly the total conversion can be so I was thinking to use it on the jon boat, I'll use the box to control the shifting and throttle and just use the tiller to steer. I know it's a "ghetto" rig but I think it will work fine. Unless I can find the kit with all the linkages and/or a parts motor with these on there. I'm having a problem finding a tiller handle from ebay but I think Will from my other post said he has one laying around.


Thanks again,
DamianJP

Also, those cables should be OK if you are happy with the 13' length.
