Hello,

Does anyone know what type of control cables I need for a 1985 Force 85hp? Model is 856F5A.

I can find cables online, but nothing that specifically mentions force.

I need cables because I got the motor seperate from the controls. The controls are US Marine.
 
Morse cables.
ANY!!! marine place should be able to get/have the cables you need.
Make sure you get cables long enough.
How are outboard remote cables measured?



Measure from control along unobstructed cable routing to center of outboard. Add four feet to allow for loop, which provides unrestricted engine movement. Round up to the next foot and order required cable part number. (Last two digits of cable part number equal cable length in feet.)

Yes, I measured correctly. Morse cables?
 
I can't seem to find them. Any info on model numbers? I'm assuming I take the quick connects off of the old ones.


Old ones are 12', I need 16'.
