:facepalm:...on my 1978 Johnson 85hp. I am talking about the switch on the control arm, at the thumb position. the "down" still works fine, but the "up" does not. I believe I pushed it in too far out of frustration and broke something.
I still have a working switch on the bow, but that won't work too well while underway
......
I am thinking of just putting a switch in the dash of the boat next to the steering wheel rather than taking apart my control box to try and replace the rocker thumb switch.
My questions are, what do you think of this? Also, would it be as simple as pulling out a couple wires from the control box and connecting to a dash mount switch? Or, is there somehting simple I am not thinking of here?
Thanks in advance, I am always impressed with the knowledge in these forums!
