"I have a 91 Cobra 4.3 and hav

"I have a 91 Cobra 4.3 and have been reading about the SEI conversion of the outdrive to a Merc style. It seems pretty straight forward except the part about needing controls that move the cable in the opposite direction required by OMC. What would be an acceptable replacement? I have an older Mercury o/b and needed to replace the controls. Researching for that showed many Merc and aftermarket controls, but they seemed to fit narrow ranges/years and were not interchangeable. Would the OMC cables adapt to a different control?
Thanks"
 
"With the control off the boat

"With the control off the boat, you should be able to switch the cable on the back, so when you put it in forward the control shifts forward. When you shift reverse, it shifts.

I havn't done a 100 controls but i have messed with maybe 25 maybe more never saw one that can't be hooked up ether way."
