1970 merury 9.8 control box

[mini-max]

i have a 1970 mercury 9.8 with the tiller handle and i would like to put on a control box so i can control it more easily (im using it on a mini-max/sea flea boat). so my question is, what kind of controls i should get and where can i get them? im planning on just running a rope and pulley steering system for ease and cost effectiveness. so any advice or input would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Try going to www.boats.net and follow the links. Fairly easy to understand .You will need to know Model and or Serial # for your motor....As for the steering rope and pulley may not be as cheep as you think check out the steering packages as well Good Luck

I am in similar situation, I built a seaflea and have a merc 9.8 early 80's vintage. how do you hook up the remote control cables to throttle and shifter - do you need some type of conversion kit ? I have a 70's merc throttle with cables but the do not fit... any suggestions welcome.

thanks
