I do not recall the current generation of electronic binnacles is compatible with your model year of engine.

You might consider going to a universal shifter instead.

Teleflex Morse makes a very smooth shifter that is compatible with your engine. It will require mounting a trim switch on the dash.

Have also read some comments from people who replaced the Merc shifter with the Yamaha 704 shifter (which does have the trim button on it). Would the Teleflex MT3 be better than the Yamaha unit? Teleflex Extreme 3300 cables are highly recommended (and there is a Yamaha equivalent Premier II).
