Installing Mercury Outboard Controls...FROM AMAZON!!!

I always prefer to install factory brand parts and rigging components, but I know thousands of folks are willing to take a chance on knock-off products from Amazon in order to save some cash...in this case it's about $100-$200 savings over a new Mercury control box. With that being said, this control box looks, feels, and performs pretty darn well when compared to the Mercury model. Watch the video for more details and full instructions for installation. It's on my Amazon Affiliate Shop, so go shop there for it along with other parts I use from Amazon when my normal accessories aren't available at Pontoon Stuff.

Our boat wiring connector kits are now available here:

I just found this channel a few days ago and have already learned so much about my boat. Thank you so much and thank you for taking my call today! You have helped me so much and i really appreciate it!

[Thefunnykid]

Extremely helpful and exact setup instructions I’ve been looking for, thank you!

[topan]

Great video! I learned a lot! Thanks for sharing!!

[jonniskala]

Great Video! Dumb question, what controls the shifter if it is electric shift?

[retro-junkie]

Tom I have this exact one on my Party barge 2004 27" pontoon. I need to replace it. The bottom to switch from in gear to throttle is getting bad. Sticks, hard to push in, etc. I'm guessing I have the version 1 cables too! Awesome video. Thank you! I may need to order all this and swap it before long. Weather getting good!

Hey bud awesome video. I can't find any top mount throttle controls for my merc 60 2 stroke. I can't find the link in the description though.
(You interested in selling your old one?)
Cheers.

I’ve searched the backlog of videos but i couldn’t find what I was looking for. I thought you had mentioned the Mercury wiring harness for gauges in a previous video. I have a 1999 Mercury ELPTO 115. I bought a new control box that includes ignition and a complete harness all the way back to the motor. It has a connection for gauges but I cannot find the correct harness online. I’m not near any marinas with a boat shop either… thanks!

Some great tips and tricks Tom. I'm about to try hooking up my Yamaha Binacle I purchased on Vervor. $187.00 CAD. We'll see how it goes!

[richoverton]

Another detailed video as usual Tom
Food for thought
Doing a video on maybe relocating the helm and what the best process for measuring out new cable lengths.
Have a great day

Hi Toms, thanks for the video. for the neutral safety wires, there are two on my 92Maxum, and I each of them should be in different connection for a small snap action switch. Wondering if I can connect those two wires to the switch whichever terminals or it has a specific terminal for each wire?

Tom just stumbled across this video! Exactly what I needed!! Thanx !

Great Video!!! My 1996 Mercury 120HP Force Outboard runs great but when I shift into forward it rattles a little while running in the no wake zone then when I start to accelerate it starts grinding and slipping and sounds terrible. It goes into neutral, forward and reverse fine and seems ok in reverse but of course I don't give it much throttle in reverse. Do you think I need to adjust it or do you think there is something wrong with the gears in the lower unit?

[larrybalowski]

great job as always i got question . i bought a mohorn and broke the neatural lock and i can get a new piece it is brand new i going to just take it out will that work

[timmorris]

Need help/advice i have 2001 pontoon it had a mercury now has a yamaha 115, still has mercury controls thats hard to shift. Planning on changing so what cables do i need for merc controller to 2004 yamaha 115.

[klewis]

Looking for something similar for my 24 tri toon conversion with 20” throttle cables for a 77 Johnson 140

[piper]

Do you like this control better than the Marpac controls? or do you have another suggestion other than OEM for a console mount option?

[carlostodaygomez]

How much is a job like this labor wise ? I need to do that on my key largo 190

[scoresandry]

I noticed that you skipped the part where you ran the control cables. Is that because is is easy or hard?

[jaimelunasanchez]

Please link shift & trottle cables for this unit

[ethanisbell]

Can this be used on a 2004 mercury. My current has gen 1 cables
