New Controls Swap

[SlipperyOar]

I've got a new to me 1993 75 hp merc that came with some controls mounted on a center console whaler. The old shift/throttle cables were cut when removed from the whaler to avoid ripping up the floor lol. I have read through the manual and see that Mercury listed the Quicksilver Commander 2000 controls for the motor.

Just wondering if i can get a different control setup other than the Quicksilver ones to be mounted on the side of my gunnel, i see lots of controls out there but am unfamiliar with what is compatible and what is not.

TIA

Not the expert so take my thought for exactly what you paid for them but any quicksilver should work. Iirc the main issue is the connection at the control unit but why would you have to rip up the floor? A basic fish tape should find it's way?

It unfortunately wasn't my idea, PO did it to get the controls split and disconnected. I didn't know if any 8 pin harness remote controls would work as long as the harness was compatible and the cable movement directions were correct.
