    If you have a 3 line hook-up (fuel in, fuel out, pulse) then the evinrude one should work.

    I have a '85 70hp Johnson. I replaced the VRO with OEM 438559. It did not match any holes to attach to the motor, but I attached it to the vro bracket. I'm not sure it is the correct one for the job, but I made it fit. If you have completed your mod, let me know if it works.

    0438559 looks good to me. You may have to fabricate a mounting bracket. good luck!
