    What controls do I need

    I'm sure that this is a stupid question but I've never done this before. I have a 97 triton tr21 that currently has a 97 Evinrude Vindicator 225 with hot foot and hydraulic steering. I found a 2006 Mercury optimax 200. Can I use my current shifter and cables by changing the ends ,same with the throttle? What else will I need to make the conversion ?
    Thanks in advance.

    No you will need a Mercury shifter and cables hot foot will work ..... you just need to replace the OMC cable with a Merc cable.
    I would also change the wiring harness to Mercury too.
