First I have a 2006 Mercury ELB 9.9 mdl OR14E559 motor and Quicksilver side mount remote controls mdl 881170A12.
1) Should that shift lever move pretty smoothly or should you have to muscle it a bit? I have to give it a pretty good nudge when shifting which makes it hard to dock, especially in the wind.
2) The shift & throttle cables I have don't look like any I see online anywhere. They're gray in color and the connectors at the motor are different than what I see. Mine are plastic, about two inches long, are threaded with a small nut at one end to screw onto the cable, and have a larger loop at the other end. The loop is what slips over a stud connected to the throttle/transmission. A small clear plastic washer type thing fits inside that loop over that stud, and a cotter pin goes through a hole in the stud holding everything in place.
Sorry I don't have pics or numbers.
What type of cables are these? Are they OEM or aftermarket connectors? I don't see any like this on ebay or anything.
Thanks
Jim
