I'm looking into the possibility of rigging up one of the newer style binnacle mount throttle controls (years 1996 and newer, I believe) to my 1983 90 hp Johnson that I have on my 17' Montauk of the same year. This particular model comes with the trim/tilt switch in the handle and also has the ignition. The part number for the particular control that I'm looking at on ebay is 0176372. I understand that this control uses 6 pin and 2 pin connectors. Is there a pigtail kit I can buy to convert the wiring harness from the Johnson to work with this binnacle mount control? Thanks.

Here's a link to the parts list on marineengine.com http://www.marineengine.com/parts/joh...;sid=39486

You will be spending alot of money for such an upgrade.

You will need to purchase the OMC Johnson Evinrude adapter wiring harness, part number 0768411.

Binnacle 0176372 is a bad choice as a control upgrade; you will need to cut a big hole in your console to mount it because it is essentially a dual control base with a single lever.

I have installed the replacement top mount integrated trim and ignition binnacle, part number BRP 5006186, and have been satisfied with the operability.

Thank you, Weatherly.

I see what you mean by saving me the nuisance of having to cut a larger hole in the console. I see that the wiring harness is expensive, but wouldn't I need one for my 1983 Johnson even if I decided to go with the BRP 5006186? The BRP is considerably more expensive than the used 0176372 I am currently watching on ebay also.
