This is great info.  I did take the control box apart but before this diagram.

Big shout out to BillW for this tip (https://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_details.php?pnum=TEL044386)  I got this beautiful $40 piece of stainless steel (which ticked me off!) but I have to say it worked absolutely perfectly.  So at least the problem is solved.  Now I can drive the boat and drink my beer at the same time.  A massive upgrade.  That said I will keep looking for a more “stealth” solution.

Thanks for all the help everyone!
