Controls help please

[GAVMAC321]

Hi all, I've got a mercury outboard i need to source manual remote controls for. I've never bought controls before and Google searching just brings up electronic controls. Can anyone help me out please ?

Tad confused? That throttle takes throttle cables. The electrics are for PTT

That is a mechanical type. Are you sure you know what you need?

This is probably what your looking for but as you can see its more expensive than a brand specific control box I'm guessing your engine is rope start none power trim in which case you could buy a Yamaha mercury Suzuki box & they will control your engine via the control cables you need to fit. Usually 33c cables with appropriate adapters for the specific box/engine. You will also probably need an engine specific fitting kit to couple the cables to the engine.
Probably best to give more details of & and whether you want top mount or side mount. You need to be careful with mercury boxes as some use merc specific cable which tend to be expensive. Yamaha controls use generic 33c cables which generally makes life easier

Sorry, very inexperienced with this .

I have a pull start Mercury outboard. I need side mounted control via mechanical cables for forward & reverse and throttle. The mercury engine requires push on the throttle linkage to accelerate. I have a quicksilver side mounted control just now which worked with my mariner but this engine was pull to accelerate.

I'm not familiar with your particular control box, but some can be switched over from push-pull & vice-versa. mecury/mariner/quicksilver are all the same family, so you might be in luck.

Cheers �� I'll get my spanners out after work tomorrow .

The ultraflex control I linked earlier will serve push or pull throttle
Here is a cheaper option which looks like the correct orientation for your engine you can either remove the electrical harness or hook up the kill cord via it. I've actually fitted one of these from vevor & they are a well made box & come push or pull

Yes you can swap the handle side to side
