Outboard Controls Help

[FiftySix]

Hi all,

I may be being stupid, but can I attach the outboard to the controls pictured, or will I need different remotes? If so, what remotes will I need?

Thanks!

First of all different brands take different fittings (common between several as they in reality are rebranded versions of identical engines).
Next the stroke needed to move gear/throttle inside the the engine must be mathed to the cable movement from the remote box.

What make/model is your engine and remote box, respectively?

The engine is a 1974 Honda B75 (7.5hp) four stroke. The remote box is an ancient Johnson one.

Move the linkage on the engine to see how far it moves. Gear moves before gas (fully engaged before adding throttle) and vice versa,

Then measure the cable movement from neutral > engage gear > add throttle and back. Same for reverse.
If it matches, go hunt for converting fittings.
Else get a box designed for the engine - either from Honda or Teleflex Morse.

New cables recommended if not needed.
