And if any one wants to look at his link, put in marinengine(DOT)com. Replace (DOT) with .

You did see the price of the switch right? $360!!!!!

I have never opened up one of those. You may want to look for a used one.

yeah I saw that too... not sure what I am going to do I have not been able to locate a used remote for under $300 either.. Funny I paid $500.00 for the whole boat the switch would be worth more than the rest of the boat HA HA HA


I did find this though..

OMC Johnson Evinrude Shift Selector Remote Control Box Switch | eBay

That is a different part number if your remote is one in the drawing.

When we had our electric shift OMC, our control was not made by OMC. It was a two handle design...one for shift and one for throttle. We actually liked it a lot as you could shift without having to worry about going to far and applying throttle. I have no idea who made it though.

I think there are several options out there: OMC had three different controllers for the Electric Shift, and you may be able to track one down on CL from someone who's gettin' rid of a "donor boat."

Howard Sterndrive suggest something at times too:
