Confident I have all the parts except for one nut. Took the nut off the throttle cable connection and went down to True Value. Throttle cable nut matched a Metric size 6, 1.00 thread pitch. Hmm. No stainless parts in metric. Ok. Zinc plated Nylok, metric 6/1.00 - get it home, no go.
Should have just bought me a 1/4" 20 just in case. Once connected, with the proper fitting above the pin & cable, I've got some difficulty getting into reverse. Don't remember the difficulty before (with the original Quicksilver controls) ... when I try to adjust the cable for an easier shift into reverse, it seems that I can't fully come out of forward into Neutral unless I go from Forward to Reverse, then back to Neutral. Hmmm.
