Converting newer controls to fit red plug style connection at motor.
Hey guys. To make a long story short, my 16' custom is almost complete. I have a set of newer controls with trim switch, and the motor being a 94, they don't work together. I was wondering if there is a short harness I can use to make it work, or maybe even splice from the controls to motor with the redplug cut off? I have another set of the old style controls, but no trim on handle and the newer ones shift much better. Thanks in advance!
If it is OMC Yes they make a kit for the transformation. The kit was not available until this year, however, you were still able to purchase the parts separate. Last year I was able to do just that for my redo on my whaler (2008 controls with a 1985 Evinrude outboard), I was working with a counter parts person at Boats.net (found the parts on line through their diagrams). I kinda put the kit together by myself. I ended up making my own plugs with the parts I purchased (had to do a little soldering). With the new kit you will just have to plug it in...I believe the conversion is around $200. and can be found on ebay sometimes....good luck
