how can you tell? and what controls do I need for it?

Re: controls

Any wire harness if needed should come with the engine. I would get a old set of twin controls clean it up and use, it would look kinda period for your boat and you would not have to worry about shift throw length, the part you need to get right on a single lever.

I am a genius!
Plus you gave me the model number and I looked it up.... (Model 40DE17B)
Any of the old OMC two lever shifters will work. Johnson/Evinrude/Gail of that era used the same cables and controls. There's a Bo'sun, Shipmaster, and Simplex control.

Re: controls

what about wiring?

Re: controls

You'll have to make a wiring harness from the engine to the ignition key if you don't have one.
