Control Repair - Round Red Plug Model

[FishHunt23]

I've got an '88 70 horse with control box that uses the round red plug. However, I managed to break the remote throttle and gear shift by putting too much pressure on the handle when the cables were frozen. So I'm an idiot...

Anyway, the teeth on both the shift/throttle plate assembly (#0389266 - the big "wheel" inside the remote) and the shift lever assembly (#0390610) are broken. Everything else is fine, and I could easily replace those two parts if I could find them. They're not available anymore as far as I can tell. I found a shift lever on ebay, but no luck on the shift/throttle plate. Plus, I'd like to avoid paying a premium if I can help it. Does anyone have any advice on locating these two parts?

Alternatively, maybe it's possible to somehow creatively repair the parts to make them work? Or to adapt a different remote or different parts to make it work? Right now I'm running the remote as throttle only and shifting by working the shift cable by hand ... not the greatest long-term solution.

Thanks for any help.

You will need patience and look for a used one on Ebay.

You may in principle use any OUTBOARD remote, Yamaha or whichever. However as cable change might be needed, be sure you may get the correct adapters to make it work!
