Hello everyone, I'm new here and happy I found this site. I have a '71 MFG 14', I believe it's a Niagara, that fell into lap, my neighbor was moving and I couldn't refuse his offer to take it, I figure it will make for a nice winter project. It had a 50 hp Merc on it that was frozen and cannibalized by the previous owner, it does have a smooth MerControl box. I picked up a nice running Merc 402 that is a tiller. I would like to know if swapping it over is that big of a deal? Looking at the controls on the 402 it appears pretty straightforward. Then I started researching the way the MerControl operates (that is how I found you guys) and became a little unsure due to the fact that the throttle on the Mercontrol is also the shift control, if I'm reading right, the other handle is only for cold starts. If I just swap out the two cables will it work? It will still be a pull start but I can live with that for now. Thanks in advance, Rich.
