Hey everyone. Just swapped out a Ford 2.3 for my mercruiser 120 in a bayliner Capri. I need to get merc throttle and shift cables and I was hoping I could use these controls? Any advice? Thanks!

Cables won't :( they don't have the brass barrels on the ends that need to hook up into my transom plate or throttle linkage. I wish they did. If I get merc cables will the ends with that go into the control box be the same? Are they a generic end?

from what i see in the catalog the merc and omc control box ends are the same ,so merc cables should fit that control box
The engine side ends are whats different
