Mercury Control Box

[greenhornet73]

I purchased a new control box and installed it today for my Mercury 2 stroke  and the gears are not right.  I installed everything exactly how the last one was set up but now it doesn’t go into forward gear unless I press the neutral throttle button and it doesn’t engage in reverse at all.  Could it be the throttle and shift cables need to be reversed or that the gears become misaligned during the switch?  I really don’t want to bring it to the shop and lose my boat for half the summer after I just lost it for 3 weeks to replace the trim switch.

This morning I took the cables off and put them on again and it now runs perfectly.  🙌
