engine swap

[GTCoupe]

I repowered with an 86 Evinrude 40 from an 88<br />evinrude 25. The problem is the 25 had an exterior shift linkage that the shift cable bolted to, and with the 40 the shift cable bolts directly to the shift cam, so now with the 88 control when I shift to forward the motor is in reverse. Is there any way to adapt the 88 control unit to the 86 40HP motor? It doesn't have a mount for the later shift lever. Thanks, guys...

Thanks, Frankie, I already tried that but no such luck. Aside from having to remember to throw the shift lever in the "wrong" direction I guess it's not a big enough problem to bother getting the right control box. Maybe a great antitheft device, eh?<br />
