I am trying to find the correct part number for the lower shift cable for a 1987 Mercruiser 4.3L 175 hp Alpha One. There seems to be a lot of different numbers in a search I did.

I was looking here on iboats and searhed for lower shift cable.
Mercruiser Shift Cables - iboats

Just now I searched for Alpha One lower shift cable and got here:
alpha one lower shift cable in Boat Parts & Accessories For Your Boat - iboats

Sure makes a difference when you change the search words.

Get the OEM cable (can't get them from iboats, sorry) the cable is much better, and will last a lot longer for just a small amount more money. It also includes a new shift cable bellows and the install kit to put the drive back on.
