My old Evinrude finally died on me last year so I found a marine shop about an hour and a half away that would take the old motor and give me credit towards a refurbished one. They mounted the 2001 Mercury 90ELPTO but said we would have to finish the rest of the rigging. I have found a binnacle control box but cannot find the cables (15’) or the ignition and key switch.

I reached out to the local marine shop and they have not answered any of my emails or calls after I told them I needed the parts. That is the exact reason why I went an hour and a half away because the local shop sucks. I know there are generation I & II cables but I’m just not sure which one applies for my motor. If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

Gee, throttle and shift cables should be plentiful on the web. Look up the motor year and that should tell you which to get.

What else do you need? The boat wiring harness maybe?

Ignition keyswitches are also plentiful. You need a magneto-style one.
