I seen them on e-bay
They sold or are selling for a pretty good buck.
Do you have a place around you like an older marina that would have some older boat around ?
They might sell you one.

That would be the Electramatic Shift control. There is a $400 switch in there.

Be certain that you get an Electramatic Shift control and not a Hydro-Electric shift control. They look alike, and if you use the wrong one it will seriously damage the motor the first time you try to put it in reverse.

Hey thanks for the heads up. I may just get rid of the motor and start with something newer.
