Is this true?

Some Johnson/Evinrude engines have external trim and tilt relays? In otherwords, not under the powerhead cover but inside the boat? My brother just hit me with that one. Mine is a 1992 v8 250,anyone know?<br />Thanks

Some of the older ones did, yes. Up til the mid to late 70's. They had a box with a solenoid and related wiring that was mounted in the boat. Basically all the trim units that were produced with a 3 wire trim motor were like that I believe.

Ok, sounds like I am in the clear then. I gotta get this thing back to my house because I keep thinking about things and don't have the motor with me to verify stuff. BTW, do you know where or I should say, what is the part number for the lower cowling fitting that accepts the 2" rigging tube (for neatness)<br /><br />Thanks

That's an aftermarket piece. Where ever you buy the tubing is probably where you'll find the fittings.

I had an '83 J-90 that had the relays in the boat. Ahhhh yes...the old 1975 Airslot....what a tank.
