A call to BW customer service may help you out. Around the time of your boat, Mercury was using a control unit that was "not the best". it had shift detent problems. If you have that one, instead of the earlier (and excellent) "angled cover" (see my website for photos of mine)
I would buy one of the brand new ones (about $250), with a rounded cover. These would definitely use the Gen II cables, which yours may also use. The ones I have use the Gen I cables.
As for cables I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the new SeaStar Solutions XTREME cables. They are really smooth working, almost as good a DTS. No other cables compare.
