What control box and cables for 1988 Mariner

[Truckie15]

Hello,

I just got a 1988 Mariner 40 hp and it did not come with controls. Can anyone provide me any type of link of what control box I should buy. I don't care if it is used I just need to know what I am looking for just need electric start and trim control. Also the throttle and gear selector are mounted on the outside so what cables do I need? One more question, is it ok to hardwire the pin connection from the control box to the motor? It appears that it was cut off of the motor.

Thanks all in advance,
Tony

i have a fifteen yamaha like that, with the controls mounted on the outside of the cover. heres the one for your motor i believe http://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury_parts/338/24.cfm the dotted outlined things between numbers 11 and 5 are the throttle/shift cables which would go to your control box (you need them too. and a control box with power trim and a key)
