Yes, it will work fine.
It should attach like it was made for it!
No problems!
I went from a '75 135hp Evinrude to a '83 175hp Evinrude, and zero issues using old control box. Big red wire harness is the same plug. Throttle and shift cables are the same.
You might need to use an external trim switch. My old 135 had external console mounted trim switch instead of control handle mounted switch, and it was a 2 minute job connecting newer 175 to old trim switch.
perfect match,there were older boxes and engines that wouldnt work,omc made color changes on the elec.connections,red work with red ,older purple with electric shift was different,
You'll have to push about 17% harder on the throttle because of the added horsepower. If you use a box from a 200 it'll be about 12% easier. If you use a box from a 300.........
Never mind, that's not gonna get past anybody. Any box with a red plug on the harness will work on a motor with a red plug.
