I have a 1973 Evinrude 85hp. Im wanting to install a BRP controller on it. The problem is the controls and wiring on the BRP are for newer Evinrude engines. I think I can get the wiring thing worked out. The controls maybe. Im thinking that the throutle cable on the old controls as a metel clip that flips over a nipple and seats to hold it in place. The BRP cable looks just like the for/rev cable end. It just slids on a threaded pin with a washer on the end and a nut to hold it in place. I am thinking of grinding and drilling the nipple off and installing a hardened screw on the engine end. Then I would be able to slid the Brp Cable end on it and install a washer and nut. What do you think? Here are some pics. Here is a pic with the nipple I was talking about removing and drilling and installing a hardend screw and washer.The next is a pic of the forw/rev threaded bolt. It is something like what im wanting to do to the nipple. The last pic is with the old controls that goes on this engine. The next post is of new cables that I want to install. Thanks
