So my 20sf currently has a 95 Merc VRi 150 efi i really want to upgrade the throttle control on it to a new more modern version. How can I find out or do any of you know which trottle control is compatable with my engine ?

IMHO, Yamaha makes the best controls out there. And they will work with that engine.

i have a merc one on my boat. i was going to buy a new one because this one looked horrible. i ended up on ebay with a new chrome cover for it and now its nice again. cheaper and easier.

Thank you! Hopefully you got a SeaCraft because of the ride! But they certainly have great classic lines.
You might have to change the cables, (go with the best) but I like the Yamaha 704 Premium control, you would still have the T/T switch in the handle which you could wire up to the Merc wires.

Deff went with SeaCraft because of the lines and the way it rides is a huge bonus, the look of urs gave me the inspiration I needed to pick up a boat of this age.......

So if I go with the Yam controls I just need to get the corresponding cable and splice in the T/T to the exsisting wiring correct ?

I really want to know if this one works though. I think it looks so clean

You would have to get 33C type cables and the Merc. adapter kit for the Yamaha control which is by far the best on the market.

My OMC control is hands on all the time. Tough to modulate, even with teleflex xtreme cables. Much smoother and sweeter than a pop in the driveway though. Coulda been Jupiter inlet.
