I am repowering my pontoon boat with a 1989 Force 85hp. The boat currently has a 1998 FOrce 40Hp with a Mercury remote control. Will the current remote work with the 85 HP? They both have tilt and trim. I have the remote that came with the 85 but it was a console installed remote and has no cover.

Won't work.
The cable ends are different.
The wiring harness is different.

E-bay has a lot of used shifters.
