    Hello,

    Do you know how difficult is to connect Force 85 HP '88 to Mercury Top mount control lever?

    Thanks.

    The cables are wrong.The connectors or wrong.Very hard to do.J
    IF YOUR OUTBOARD DOESN"T START WITHING A FEW SECONDS THEN SOMETHING"S WRONG!!!!

    Buy American made Cars and Trucks!!!Towing insurance for a boat,a GREAT thing.

    If you fix your problem,do the rest of the posters a favor and send in one more post telling who,what, how it was fixed.J

    By cables you mean electrical cables or throttle and gear cable?
    What if I reuse ingition starter (already connected and install it on dash) from current control?

    Throttle/shift cables.That will probably work.Just make sure the wires are hooked up correctly.
