hi, im new here, but an old boater. i have a 1991 chaparral 1800sl 3.0 yamaha sterndrive. being a mechanic, first thing i did was rebuilt the 3.0, with some modifications (185 hp/210 ft lbs est.), and now im addressing the sterndrive. this unit is emaculent inside and out, but i have run into a snag. does anyone know if an omc or mercruiser shift cable interchange with what i have? ive heard that yamaha ripped off the design of their sterndrive from omc (cobra?). i would hate to scrap a perfectly good sterndrive for nothing. any help would be greatly appreciated.
