Re: 1970 85 hp V4

The motor is an 85ESL72R (=1972). The control box does not seem to be the one shown on Marineengine for this motor. The shape is different (rectangular) the throttle friction screw is on the back rather than the top, and the handle is different, with what seems like a momentary rocker switch connected to a three wire cable–I think this is for tilt/trim. And the box has two push-pull cables. So I think this is a control box for a mechanical shift motor and not usable with this motor. (??) Looks to me as if there is a pushbutton shift box for this motor type, and also the one where the shift switch is integrated into the throttle lever, but this is neither…..
