I have a pre 79 (76) johnson control box in like new condition and a set of new cables for a 91 Johnson V-4. Is there a kit to adapt the cables so they will fit the older model control box?

Thanks,

Capt. Tony

Re: Johnson Evinrude control box/cables interchange

The only real difference between the new and old cables is that the old cables have removeable ends and the new ones have permanently attached ends. I am pretty sure the new cables will fit your old box if it is a single lever style box (the one with the pleather cap on top). They will not work if it is an old dual-handle box (separate throttle and shift) as those had specialized cable ends at the box.
