Controls Question

[Knightime]

Currently have a 1990 175 Johnson and looking at all options to replace it....<br /><br />Can anyone tell me if the controls/electrical connections I currently have will work with newer John/Rude motors??<br /><br />This forum is AWSOME!!!

Re: Controls Question

That has a large red rubber plug on the end of the electrical harness? That was good up to 1995 when they changed. There are adapters available.

Re: Controls Question

Bill, just a word to the wise .... <br /><br />Check price AND availability of the adapter harness.I see lots of what I consider 'active parts' coming up as No Longer Available.<br /><br />DHP

Re: Controls Question

Thanks DHP.<br /><br />I'm actually looking at a Rude 225 1996 model. Rather than replacing current power head (1990 175 Johnson).<br /><br />Any advice?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Bill

Re: Controls Question

Yes Bill I understand.An adapter harness is required for your old controls to connect to the 1996 outboard.If you cannot get this harnes,your controls will not work.<br /><br />DHP

Re: Controls Question

The adapter harness kit is still available (least it was in 05') PN 176349, to convert 96' and newer engine to a 95' or older boat (controls).<br /><br />If you want to convert to system check at the dash, PN 176345 (this one is kinda pricey)
