Connecting control cables to outboard

[elv_1986]

Hi,
I am having some trouble trying to figure out what fittings I need to connect my control cables to my outboat. Currently there is nothing on the end of the cables, and I have these on my outboard:

Gears:

Throttle:

The outboard is an old Selva

Can anyone help me here? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Looks like the plastic parts are missing from the motor......
Hard to explain exactly what you need,suggest a search on the Selva website and compare some pictures perhaps?

There should, by the looks of things, be more of a bracket on the left of the bottom picture. Most O/B dealers should be able to find the right bits to get you hooked up.

if you can take the engine to most outboard dealers they can tell you what you need. if you can get the part numbers from them you can then buy from them or look around for used parts if you're on a budget.

Look at the pics here.......................

I have searched on the selva website, and on google but theres hardly any information on them at all /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I thought there might be some bits missing, I dont suppose there are any outboard dealers on here that could help me are there? Otherwise Ill have to try and get the outboard off or tow the boat to a dealers /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

PS are you sure you have the pics worded correctly? throttle/gears I suspect the other way round!

 

[elv_1986]

definatly worded correctly, the top one selects f/n/r and the bottom one is the throttle /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

the gearbox one looks generic. the same fitting as my Yamaha and a mariner. email a pic to a dealer and should sort that one out but the throttle looks different to mine

 

[elv_1986]

ah! some good news! wonderful, Ill have a look for some yamaha and mariner ones then! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif thanks! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had the same setup on a boat I had quite a few years back. Mine was an evinrude outboard although i think there is a connection between selva and evinrude.... The fittings you need however are generic. Usually plastic ends which are quite long, fit to the ends of the cables, one will just have a hole through it which fits snug onto the throttle lever, The end for the gear lever will be held on with a bernot pin and spring. Id have thought that most chandlers will stock.
Be careful you dont just get connections for 'a' particular outboard manufacturer however fittings vary even amoungst different models of outboard made by the same manufacturer.
