I am looking to mount a 2003 9.9hp 4stroke on the port side of the transom of a 2001 Tracker Targa 18WT. If I am to do this, I have a few questions..... My father is going to donate his motor to my cause if I decide to go with the boat. (not yet purchased)

1. What is the length of harness that I need to get if I am going to mount the controller near the one that runs the main motor?

2. What length of cables will I need? I assume same length?

3. Is the 8 pin harness the right harness for the motor? My dad has no clue, but knows his motor is a 2003 model Merc 9.9 EL 4 Stroke.

I appreciate the help and if anyone has a flush mount controller that they dont need any longer or the harness, please let me know, I kinda want to go with this project and use the 9.9 as my kicker for trolling....
