obsolete parts!

[R Willis]

This is a project I am working on and most of this boat stuff is new to me...
I have mounted an 1996 Evinrude 88 SPL on a center console aluminum boat. I have a 1996 top mount binnacle with trim/tilt and jack plate switch I want to use.
I purchased new cables etc for the install. I discovered when I got ready to mount the binnacle and connect the cables that I have some parts missing from the binnacle. The missing items are the cable retainer and the cable anchor.
http://shop2.evinrude.com/Index.aspx?s1=1j308vgqn81oso2fdd4s4m6v74&catalog_id=0&siteid=1 Part # 49 and 50 on the drawing. The cable anchor #49 is shown to be obsolete. How do attach the cables to the binnacle without that part? Is there a new style cable or part for this? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
R W

Your link takes me to the main page, and from your info I can make it to a selection of 4 more selections. Can you take a screen shot or more info so we can find what your looking at?

The motor model# and serial# would help too....

Here is a screen shot from the above link, Evinrude parts. The items in question are #49 and #50, #49 is now obsolete. Without that part how can I connect the cables?

I wonder what part 112 "cable adapter kit" is? Maybe that has what you need in it?

Found one in Beecher city, Il for part 126534, Appears to be Habla Espanola for $15.00

And search on Evinrude 126535 and there is one at Marine Eng.com for $7.41

Edit: also found the adapter kit and it does not include those items

Thanks guys, I located the parts I needed. Used from a dealer in the area. He did tell me that there is not an optional or replacement part for the cable anchor and if used parts aren't available that I would have to replace the entire control unit with a later model. Glad I found the parts!
Thanks,
RW

In my search for parts I came across a dealer's website that advertised themselves as "One of the Worlds largest on hand inventories for parts that are hard to find, obsolete, no longer manufactured:". I emailed them listing the parts I was in search of including the one that is obsolete. I got a reply from them that they had the parts. Here are their quoted prices:

126534 40.00 ea
126535 35.00 ea
126029 15.00 ea
305650 1.20 ea

Here are the prices from Evinrude parts:
From Evinrude parts: New 126535 $7.41 ea 126029 $5.21 ea
305650 $1.21 ea.
From local Evinurde Dealer Used 126534 $8.50 ea.

I only share so others will be aware and be sure to make a thorough search around when looking for parts. I spent $31.05 with tax for all the parts.
Just saying...
