1991 Mariner, but no controls. Need to know what year controls work ( he has tilt ) and what he needs to hook up the control cables to the motor ( how is the cable for throttle and shifting secured to the motor? ) We are trying to find the right controls for this. So far, we got an older set without trim and wiring, and another set for the Yammy version, which is reversed.

Pictures would be awesome so we can see how they hook up to the motor itself.

The previous owner kept the controls for his newer Merc on the pontoon it was on for obvious reasons!

I ask for help here because I know someone has one of these motors, and I have exhausted my knowledge on google searches and have come up empty.

Hopefully someone can save us a headache! :D

And on a related/unrelated note...it's oil injected. I've heard the VRO's should have the oil injection disabled, is the Mercury/Mariner system trustworthy, or should we disable and run premix instead? I'd like for this motor to last. If the oil injection system is good on these, anything we should know about maintaining it so it keeps working properly?
