Default After market throttles??

Can any one recommend after market Mercury throttles for Twin outboards? I am trying to find a set that will match the hole my big ones left (2004 twin 250 Mercury XS Outboards, Standard throttles)... Looking for something other then O.E.M... Telefex??

Red jacket Morse helm and cables
They are life time cables !!
Not cheap but well worth the cost.

See ya, Ken

I second Ken's nomination of Red Jacket cables, and add that new Quicksilver Platinum cables are the same cable, also made by Teleflex-Morse, but with a different color, expensive but worth the peace of mind. I will add that the Teleflex-branded Red Jackets are slightly less expensive.

Thanks guys, i have been thinking about going with electronic verado throttles... the cables and hoses are not the problem, its actually the stiffness of the throttle base...
