I have a 1978 Glastron with a 1978 200HP Johnson Crossflow. In the last week I swapped the head and all the electronics to a 1989 150 crossflow. I would have switched the entire unit, however, I was dealing with a 20 inch versus my current 25 inch motor. I did not replace the hydraulic motor. Now the old 78 hydraulic motor moves incredibly slow and the wire gets hot which concerns me. Should/can I pull the 89 hydraulic motor and complete the switch and will the 89 electric motor match up correctly with my 78 hydraulic unit? Is there anyway to pull the electric motor without removing the entire unit from the boat? Better yet is there an easy fix to get my 78 hydraulic motor running properly with the 89 engine and electronics?
Thanks for any help and advice, it's been a while since I've written, things have ran well for many years now! Good to see Joe Reeves and emdsapmgr are still around.
