33C cable to Mercury adaptor

Hello,

I need your advice. I bought Mercury control box and would like to use it with 33C cables (Teleflex red one).

Do you think this stuff will resolve my problem? http://www.marinemegastore.com/produ...t_id=ENGCON001

Thank you for your answers.

Depends on which control box you have, don't think they'll fit a gen 2 style

Yes, these will convert 33c cable to Mercury box. You can buy a hybrid cable that has Mercury end at control box with 33c at engine which will be cheaper to buy than than that kit + cables. Max 16' long.

use the converters, the thinking behind that is, if you break a cable it's a lot easier to find a common cable, more chance of getting one in a local chandlers

Yep

Otherwise, if you go with the hybrids, you'll probably buy a spare cable to keep on board, which you'll never end up using.
