Question Need help with Outboard mod from twin to triples

Hello everyone,
this is my first post.
I need some help. I have recently converted my 1987 Chris Craft Stinger 314 twin 225hp mercury outboard to a triple 225hp Mercury setup. I’ve got just about everything converted and modified except for my shifting/throttle cables. I have mercury cables and I have bought a triple shifter that has the three throttle levers and the three shifter levers. The problem I have is the way the cables attach to the shifter. It is not compatible. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there an adapter kit or an attachment, or even a modification out there that anyone might be aware of? Any help would be grateful!

u can buy the cable adaptors for the controls from any merc dealer
or buy them on line from marinengine.com
that is where I got my zero effort/kiekhaefer parts when I did my trip o/b with zero effort controls
and if u want 3 motor trim switch for levers I got mine there also
cables are just a normal 33c style ,,,,,name brand don't matter
