    1990 spectrum blue fin 50hp force control cables

    They might work? But if they are used, I wouldn't put them on my boat. Ebay this "Morse 33 shift cable 12ft." Look through the cables they have. If the add says Morse or 33 they should be ok. Some are from China and can take up to 2 months to get.

    If it lights up on each plug?? then you have spark. That broken gasket: I wouldn't worry about it right now, it's probably not all the way through and just the corner. The part: called a Dog Bone. It's part of the fuel recirculation system. Take it apart, it has reed valves and screens to catch...

    Control rod seal and copper ring for drive shaft and boot

    The missing ring?? No biggie, just lube the splines and slide the boot over them. No grease on top of the shaft. There's a slotted screw on the side of the nosecone, DON'T remove as it's a pivot point and can be a B%$#H to replace. If you do remove it then the seals a lot easier to get at.

    Boot and retainer not really needed. BUT if you run in salt water it's possible the corrosion caused by the salt water can make the connection a permanent one.

    The driveshaft, after water pump removal should pull out. Then same procedure, pry or use the seal removal tool. Both methods can score the soft alum. so be very careful.
