1977 Evinrude 55hp Power Pilot Substitute?

[PaulyV]

Looking to change my center console to this. It’s a Better size suited to my boat
Can I use that OMC control (in pic) on my 77 55hp? Or is the power pilot specific to this engine due to warm up lever.

If that is an OMC binnacle control it will work.----The electrical bits from a " powerpilot " will work.-------And in general any control box with the big red plug can be used on a motor with the big red plug.------

Thank You for the reply. It is an OMC control. I don’t see a warm up lever on this binnacle. I do not own the console yet. I wanted to be certain I could use the control before purchasing. Electric choke would work through key ignition. Do I need a warm up lever ?

There is a method on that control to disconnect the shift function.----You pull the main handle sideways !

The gentlemen sent me these pics.

So I would hook up key switch separate.

What gets connected to these wires on Binnacle.
