Re: engine controls
I'd try to get a manual for that outboard. There might be some instructions there.

Re: engine controls
Assuming that the outboard was designed to have remote throttle, shift, and steering cables attached it should just be a matter of connecting the right ends on the cables. The cables themselves are generic with threaded ends. There are different engine specific ends that thread onto them.
