Throttle control

[J_Hess]

Do I have to find a throttle control box made specifically for my 1971 Johnson 100 HP which says Hydro-Electric Drive or do they make aftermarket throttle controls and if they do what is a good place to get them and what kind to use, there are so many different styles.

You will have to find on especially for that kind of motor. I think I saw one on E-bay within the last couple of days, I guess this is what you need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31283&item=2493552026&rd=1 ends in 2 days, still no bids - give it a try !!

That one dosn't look anything like the one I need, but thank you for letting me know that i need one specific for my motor. The only thing that sucks if you buy a used one you will probably have the same problems with the rust inside the dang thing.

Re: Throttle control

hello<br /> with the hydro-electric you have 2 options. the single lever box by johnson or the pushbutton box by evinrude. the hydro-electric was used for 4 years and will NOT interchange with the older electric shift boxes. the switches are wired differently. but yes virginia the only box you can use is the one for hydroelectric. I think the pushbutton switch is NLA so be careful which box you buy.<br /> good luck and keep posting
