I'm going to try to explain as best to my ability of what I'm trying to do.
1. I have a 1975 Glassport Bass Boat w/ a 1975 Johnson 75 HP.
2. I've decided to purchase a 1971 Evinrude 50HP to replace the Johnson.
3. The 1971 Evinrude does not come with a remote control.
4. Swap out motor and plugged the remote control from the 75HP Johnson to the 50HP Evinrude. The harness plugged in just fine and boat starts up with the ignition switch.
5. The 50 HP Evinrude has Selectric push button for forward, reverse and neutral. But the 75 HP johnson is manually shift forward and reverse by moving the gas lever.
Is there a way to rig a switch from the motor and run it up to the front to go froward, reverse, or neutral?
Or do I have to purchase a complete Remote Control for the Evinrude in order to shift?
PLEASE HELP
