Re: help please.

What exactly are you asking? Do you have any years to start from?

Its a shift plate, mounts on the starboard riser or elbow. Has a shift interrupter mounted on it along with the upper and lower shift cables. Sorry, don't have a picture. Maybe Google Mercruiser shift plate, should be pictures there.

I have two pictures of shift cables. May get one for throttle control. Hope this helps.

Re: help please.

I couldn't find a picture of a throttle control cable but if you are still wondering, it's easy.
There is a Delta-shape bracket behind the carb. You slide the barrel on the cable into a round slot at the rear of the bracket, same as you do with shift cables. The tip of the cable gets attached to throttle control bracket on the carb. I can snap a picture tomorrow should you need one but you must be able to figure it out.
Taking over unfinished job...hate it.
