Mercury ThunderBolt 650 Shift Problem

[EMTP]

So i am new to boating i was given a Mercury thunderbolt 650 4 cylinder SN# 2446718 The first time i ran it on the muffs it shifted into drive and reverse just fine but when i dropped her onto the lake i went to put her on and when i shifted it to reverse the cable the plastic holder broke on the engine side and the gear selector (see pics) the local marine shop charges 110 and hour 2 hour min so any help would be grateful

http://www.4shared.com/office/aYv2iNTC/merc_controls_newest_manual.html This is a manual that has your controller in it should help you out. Just get the parts you need and replace them. Should just be a set of cables as I would change them both so you do not have a weak link. If iboats does not have them get your parts from this site http://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/parts/640_28.cfm Or check oldmercs.com. Hope this helps. http://www.scribd.com/doc/75281168/Mercury-Outboard-Tilt-Manual This is for your tilt/trim in case you have one you can service it and get accustomed to keeping it alive.
