I am not sure how to answer your question, other than to say it must be to the Johnson motor OMC 0124885. Appreciate the prompt reply.

See these photos: http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=56 Have you checked with an Evinrude dealer? Also see the Evinrude/Johnson parts catalogs here: http://epc.brp.com/SiteMods/BRP_Publi...amp;lang=E Edited by Joe Kriz on 03/21/16 - 1:50 PM

If you can't find what your looking for, let me know I check a local place by me and see what they would charge to ship that part to your location.

You have to almost make a hobby out of checking ebay and craigslist on a regular basis to see if anybody lists one for sale. It took me over a year, but how I ultimately found one was to call all the local outboard dealers in my area, especially evinrude dealers because even though OMC is no longer in business, a lot of older 2 stroke outboard owners are etec loyal as they are the last 2 stroke game around. These dealers regular take old outboards in on trade in complete with the controls or just give a scrap value to the buyer of a new outboard when a boat is getting repowered. Just go on Evinrudes website under the Dealer Locator and start calling from nearest dealer to farthest and I be you will find one willing to sell you a complete used control and ship it to you.

Member Posts: 6 Comments: 0 Joined: 03/21/16	Thanks for the suggestion. I have emailed all the Evinrude dealers in Eastern New England. Most replied saying the part is obsolete since 2008.....and nationally nobody is showing they have that part. ... Johnson remote cover 0124885....and that I would have to find it locally at a used/salvage boatyard. If anyone knows of where to go or comes across this part, I would very much appreciate an email. Thank you
