Title: Control Box w/ Mercury Outboard
Post by: CThomps on August 16, 2009, 03:31:07 PM

I'm in need of a top mount control box for my Aquasport.  The motor is a 2003 2.5L 200hp Mercury.

Anyone know where I can find the best deal on this?  I'm looking for something with trim/tilt.

I need throttle cables too but those are no big deal as far as cost goes.

I guess my other question was to specific.  I have a 1986 20ft Osprey with a 200hp Mercury.  

It has the original throttle cables and control box.  I guess both are fully worn out.  It took 22 years to wear out the Mariner 150 that was on it.  Not bad for the throttle cables and conrtol box I guess.

So i'm looking for a replacement binacle mount control box with trim/tilt and throttle cable.  Throttle cables are going to be about the same price every where but what about the control box?

Do I have to get a quicksilver brand?  What other options do I have?  Are other controls out there reliable and well built?

Thanks in advance.
