Hi.. I have a 1978 Force 50 outboard with a US Marine controller on a 24' Playcraft pontoon boat. It was hard to shift and had no throttle in reverse. After inspecting the control box(US Marine), and moving the cables by hand, I determined it was time for new shift/throttle cables. My Dad offered to pick them up but neither of us had any clue to what cables work. The cable part #s had worn off. Omaha Marine center gave us universal type of cables. One end has a longer inner sleeve than the other end. There is approximately 2-3 inches difference between the 2 ends. Anyone know which end is for control box and which end is for linkage on the force 50? We have been trying to get these cables setup for 3 months now.
I will add pics asap. Thanks!
