need parts diagram or source for shift cable FROM SHIFTER TO ENGINE

[retrorocked]

Longtime reader, first time poster.

I have a mercruiser shifter on a 1978 cobalt, alpha one. The cable from the shifter to the engine is broken. I cannot find a parts diagram for this assembly or a source where i can buy one. I am unsure what the cable is called. Any search for a shift cable brings up the cable from the engine ( or transom depending on how you look at it) to the lower drive unit. I have heard this as being refereed to as a dash cable, but a search doesn't turn up anything under that either. Anyone know where i can find a parts diagram or source for this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have a look at this link from here at Iboats. You will have to measure your length and double check the ends are the same:

Just for reference for someone else wondering and searching - it is also called a remote control cable.
