mattonfire81 Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Thank you received: 1	I just acquired a 1957 Mercury Mark 30 and was wondering what kind of throttle controls work with this motor. Do I need to find a vintage mercury setup, or can something newer suffice? Any help at all would be much appreciated. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Ok, I found the one on eBay a QuickSilver two-lever control box. I assume I would need to get new cables. I also noticed that I found some issues with the lower case. I found cracks and missing pieces of metal from the case by the prop. Could something like this be repaired or should it be replaced?
