Adapting johnson cables on force motor

[patrickj]

I have a bass buggy pontoon with a 40 horse evinrude, has the split type controls with separate shift and throttle controls. I'm fixing to install an 85 force motor onto the boat, biggest issue I see is the cable ends on the motors are completely different... any ideas for keeping my current controls and adapting the cables I have onto the motor?

Get new cables at a minimum. Get the proper force control if you cant Frankenstein it

The older Chrysler controls and cables will work fine too . They are usually dirt cheap used.

Usually it won't work
e-bay or Google marine salvage yards.

I got a control with the motor, but its a side mount and theres no real way to set that up on my barge

Mount it on the other side of the console?
OR!! get extra long cables and put it on backwards.
I've seen a lot worse out there.
