2008 130 SPORT Project

I have decided to make several repairs to my 2008 130 SPORT that have been put off for more than one year. To repair broken steering, I dismantled the helm console. Despite the challenge of corrosion, I was able to remove the old steering cable and disassemble the console. I also removed the old engine remote throttle and shift controls. I have purchased a new Mercury OEM remote throttle and shift control.
In the future I plant to replace these electrical components:
In the future also plan to accomplish these tasks:
