Merc control box

[Tup]

Hi guys<br />Where can I find a manual or diagram showing the<br />linkage setup from box to engine? There seems to be very little around on this subject. However I got a few answers on one of your pages. The motor<br />is a 50 Merc 1983 the control box is an early 90's<br />Merc box. <br />This is the best Q & A forum I've seen to date, <br />keep up the good work. Thanks a bunch.<br /><br />Shifter<br />Vancouver

Re: Merc control box

I just went through the same thing. I found it to be trial & error at best. To start with, I pressed the "throttle only" button on my controls, and moved the control back and forth.That told me which linkage connection in the box worked the throttle. Also, I happened to notice on my mid 80's Merc 115, that the linkage connection on the motor moved towards the bow for forward. I put two plus two together. Hope this helps.
