I have a Johnson 50esl71s it has the hydro electric drive box. anyway the guy i bought it off fried the wiring harness. I have bought a new harness and two manuals and neither of them have a wiring diagram for the control box. does anyone have one? I just want to make sure it get wired up rite. (bought the Clymers 71-89 and Clymers 73-90) please help as this engine has 140 psi in both cylinders and ran like a top for about ten minutes.

Here is what I have from my 1972 65HP hydro electric manual...not sure if it helps.

Edit: It is forbidden to violate copyright, Mr. Will. Check the rules.

Thanks for your cooperation. ":)

Everyone who has the Service Manual has one, Geoff. You need one, too.

I should have been more specific, Geoff. Aftermarket manuals are a waste of money. Get the OEM Service manual.

and this manual will include the controls diagram? I just don't want to buy another paperweight. If you know what I mean. Thanks Jeff

Looks like it specifically does cover the controls.
