I have looked everywhere on the internet (almost). Where do I find a new side mount control box for my 115hp 1975 mercury?<br /><br />Regards<br />Michael

Well, that's actually the reason I want to find an internet site selling new ones. I want to check prices to see if there is anything to save and to know how much to bid. <br />I just can't find any sites with merc. controls listed. :confused: <br /><br />RegardsRegards<br />MikeMike<br /> :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Mike, from what I can find out, Mercury is pretty strict about selling to other companies, and even West Marine has a tough time carrying genuine Mercury parts. <br /><br />Mercury wants you to buy Mercury parts through a Mercury dealer. And when you live over an hour's drive from one (like I do), it makes it tough to get parts sometimes.<br /><br />You can go to the mercurymarine.com web site, and look up a part number on their Parts Express, to see what the part would cost you at a dealer.<br /><br />That might help you on the e-bay comparisons.

Trent's got it. I was looking at Morse stuff the other day and they're righteous looking. Been around a while to. Give 'um a try.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />hooty

Norman, the plug doesn't fit. I did find another one though.<br />I have looked at Morse controls, but haven't found any with key and connection to the tack like the mercury has. I would prefer that.<br /><br />Regards<br />Michael
