Mercury Generation II control question?

[Shooter 1972]

In the process of adding a new control box (single lever/dual action) to my Fountain 25. Engine is a 1999 Mercury 250 EFI. My question is: My cables curently use a 10-32 threaded end that has black plastic ends on it that attach to the old control box. The new box uses Gen II ends. Is there an adapter for this type of connection or do I need to run new cables? Cables are in good shape so I would prefer to not replace them unless that is my only resort. Thanks

You have the 33C red jacket cables, I guess. The O.E. cables don't have removable ends.
I have no idea if Teleflex has an adaptor for that.

Good question.

Anybody?

So if I switch to the new Gen II cables will they attach to the 1999 250 EFI without any troubles? Please advise

Gonna probably go with a Gaffrig type control instead so I dont' have to switch out the cables. Let me know if anyone is interested in a new Mercury MCC 4501 Console Control, I will let it go for a fair price. Thanks Shawn

Scratch the Gaffrig, deal fell thru. Replacing cables with Uflex Blues. And tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Gen II controls require Gen II cables. Teleflex makes a Gen II compatible cable but no adapter kit as far as I know. In fact, Gen II cables are even being phased out now in favor of Mercury Premium version cables. No idea if Teleflex or anybody else has an equivalent cable yet as this is very new.
