I have a 2001 90Hp Merc 2-Stroke OB with a Side Mount Merc 3000 Classic -w-Trim P/N: 827270A26 and Control Cables Teleflex CC17920 (20 Feet).

The control box and cables need to be replaced. The problem is the shift handle points toward the "Starboard" side (Right Side of Boat). Near the shift lever on the control box face is printed "Port Side"? Most side mount shift levers are mounted facing you on the starboard side. Is there an issue here or am I looking at this incorrectly? I hope this not a dumb question!
