I have a 1986 Johnny,and I would like to try my brothers 1995 or possibly 1996 Rude,,,would it be as simple as plugging in all the harnesses.<br /> Both motors have trim/tilt. I currently have a 90 hp on a 19 ft. aluminum boat,I want to see what his 115 will do,,,what is everyones opinion,,,mainly looking for speed.

Re: Will controls from 86 fit a 96.

the controls will cross over - just not sure the VRO alarm will work.<br /><br />Did you try JB´s Speed formula ?<br /><br />With your permission JB:<br /><br />Quote:<br /><br />There is another formula for predicting top speed if ideally propped and trimmed.<br /><br />Prop HP=A<br />Boat gross wght.=B<br />Bottom factor=C: 180 for V bottom, 200 for nearly flat, 225 for Flat.<br /><br />Take the square root of A/B and multiply by C.<br /><br />Example: My Montauk has 70hp, weighs about 1900lb. with max load. 70/1900 =.037. Sq. rt of .037 =.19,<br />Nearly flat bottom factor, 200 X .19 = 38.4mph.<br /><br />GPS WOT reads 38.5mph

Morning (here in N.E.)<br /> I wish I were at work,and I could tell you for sure...change over year for the wiring was 1996.Control cables will work,but wiring harness will need an adapter harness.<br /> Pull both notor covers.Your motor will have a large round red plug-in connector.If the 115 is a '96,you'll find very different connections,necitating the adapter.DHP
