Our 1965 40 Evinrude Big Twin (like the one in the first pic) had the standard two cable shift throttle system. The "luxury" Lark 40 had Selectric Shift. We had that system on our 68 85hp Starflite X and it worked flawlessly for years.

'Selectric'! That's the fella.
Thanks Ben, and happy new year.
How are things, and folk over there?

Happy New Year to all.

Things and folks pretty good here aside from the fact that it has been consistently below freezing accompanied by a lovely strong NE wind.
