    Cable type for F70 with Mercury controller.

    I am trying to figure out what type of control cables I need on my franken-pontoon. It has an older Mercury binnacle controller and a 2015 Yamaha F70 motor.

    66 Larson Restoration

    Just got my first boat a few days ago! I bought it through an auction for pretty cheap. It’s looking like it’s going to be a total restoration project.
