Does anyone know where I can find the plastic gromet where the shift cables and fuel line go into a 1988 force 85hp outboard. Mine is worn down so shift cables slip thru.

CABLE ENTRY BUSHING, Mercury part number 8190062, $10 here in the lower 48.

The cable sheath should be secured inside the cowl, and should not allow the cables to slip through.

They are supposed to slip through there.The part is called a remote bracket with a rod end connector stud.That what's supposed to hold the cable.The towershafy and shift mechanism both have swivel connectors that clamp the cable.J
