    Can someone please help me hook up my quicksilver throttle controls?

    Do both cables go on the ends that have screws in them? Which one goes on top of the other? I know what cable is for throttle and which for shifting but i can't seem to figure out where inside the control box they go, even with shifting the lever forward and reverse. Thank you guys for the help.
