Can anyone sugest some web sights that I can get a free wiring diagram for my 1971 85 hp johnson? A person I know gave this outboard to me, he said it "I've had it running", but all of the wiers are corroded so I need to find a wiring diagram to fix it. If anyone can help me it would much appreciated.

I have never been able to find many wiring schematics on line, probably because of copy write laws.
Your best bet is to get the factory manual, it will have the schmatics in it.
Having said that, this is as close to your engine I could find, 69-70 85hp. maybe it will help.
