Help with Johnson outboard

I recently purchased a 2008 Tracker Grizzly jon boat (no motor - trying to save a few thousand bucks). I already own an older jon boat with a 60 hp Johnson outboard on it. The problem is the Tracker boat is wired for a Mercury motor and the wiring harness for the motor doesn't "mate" with the older outboard. The boat has a male plug and so does the motor. I'm also not sure if the throttle and transmission linkages will work on the motor. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I thank you for any suggestions. John

Re: Help with Johnson outboard

johnson - mercury are not compatible. you need the control from the old boat. not even the shift linkage or throttle linkage.
