This is not exactly a cable question, but close. I got a Tohatsu 6hp engine a week ago (from Annapolis Inflatables, though they don’t have the group buy price anymore) and have it installed. I installed the remote conversion kit, but have a question about the wiring for the kill switch. The conversion kit comes with a wire for the kill switch, but it is not obvious from the parts diagram what it connects to. I am replacing an old OMC engine which had a kill switch located in the cockpit and a wire back to the engine, which I’d like to reuse. Any advice would be appreciated. I will post more information about the rest of the conversion shortly, as well as some pictures. I also reused the thrust bracket from the previous engine installation, and it looks to me like it works pretty well.

The Tohatsu uses the same wiring configuration as the OMC engines.  There is a wiring harness that can be purchased to link to the Tohatsu kill switch on the remote control, but I connected to the two wires on the engine where the harness would have connected with my OMC kill switch wires.
