1987 Force 125 128v7b Throttle Control Replacement

Hello,
Just purchased a 1988 VIP Victory.
Has a 1987 Force 125 Model: 128V7B Outboard Motor on it
This boat is in need of major restoration. And I know very little about restoring boats. This is my first boat.
First issue I have run into is find a Throttle Control (Factory or Universal that is compatible). With most costing more than I paid for the boat itself im hesitant to order one without knowing it will be compatible.
The destroyed one I do believe is a universal.

See attached photos to know why I need to replace it.

I think the 87 came with the trim switch on the dash.
The shifter you can use is any Force/ Chrysler controls.
The one I'm sending along has the t@t switch in the handle.
It can be changed over or just use the one on the dash.

Good luck on the rebuild.

First thing is do a compression test.
No reason to spend $$$$ on a dead motor.

THANK YOU! Spent hours looking for this part yesterday. Will definitely do a compression test.
Is it possible to run a compression test without the throttle control?
Thanks again,

Just remove all the plugs and let it spin until the gauge stops going up.

Don't use the key to turn it over unless you ground the plug wires.
