"Without a working ESA you are going to find it very to come out of gear into neutral, in fact some times you may find you overshoot neutral and go right into the opposite gear, not good for the gears, dog clutch, shift cable, shifter and your arm

OK then you can pull the new connector off the new ESA and put your plug on from the old ESA so it will match up with the one on the boat. Use a good pair of needle nose to reach in and pull them out.
