We have two people that will know this and they do check in every other day or so.

Good to hear. Here's hoping.
Thanks

They are morse cables. They fit Johnson Evinrude Morse shows a kit for 33c ? cables but I didn't see the attaching pin in the bag. You might be able to use the old one or scrounge up a used one. Any way a morse dealer should fix you up.

Scrounging up an old used one is what I had in mind. I did find a Teleflex Morse adapter kit that looks like it has the black connector included. It's only about $35 but I hate buying parts I don't need. Hopefully somebody has one laying around.
Thanks for the info.

I have a couple of storage tubs, In storage, that I can look in once I get back over there.

I have seen those on some of the OMC outboards.

Those are not a common part. It looks possible to make one, I have one of the attachment pins if it comes down to it.

I would check with Bill. I'm sure he'd have one.

Helmar & John,
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I do have a metal ball joint style connector on it now which works fine so I'm not exactly stranded. I would just like one that is more 'original'. Maybe one will turn up.

Kelly, I did post to Fiberglassics also but nothing yet. I have bought parts from Bill before so maybe I should try him direct though he seems to get real busy at times.

I had to try a few times to contact him but once I did I had a new impeller the next day! Good luck!
