OK here is the story,
Repowered my boat with a 2000 Johnson 200HP. Before I had a 1988 Evinrude.
I would like to use the system check tach/guage which I have and also have the newer modular wiring harness. My issue is I'd really like to be able to use my existing mechanical throttle controls with trim. I would rather not spend the money right now on a newer style control with key.
Can I cut the 6 pin plug and wire it directly to my keyswitch, anyone have experience doing this? The trim and tilt I will just cut the plug and butt connect the three wires to the older switch, the 8 pin connector will connect directly to the tach, my other question would be the warning horn, not sure how I could get that to work, doesnt the newer horn driver come with the newer style control boxes?
I am sure someone on here has done this in the past. What would be some of your suggestions. Ive been scouring the forums and sites trying to find this info out but have been unsuccessful.
Thank you very much!
