Re: johson 75hp w/ powershift 2 controls

im not a mechanic but i have a generic parts repair manual only thing i see on remote that is brown/tan would be a trim gauge indicator, maybe your boat had a trim gauge indicator? but ask a pro here on the forums

see pics

but on the engine brown wire i think is a overheat alarm, maybe it runs through to the remote

anyway to find the year check this.

Tan wire is the sensor for the overheat warning horn. I have no idea why somebody extended it outside the control, unless they mounted an external horn.

EDIT: GREY wire is for a tachometer. Are you sure it isn't grey/discolored?
