Motor Controls

[Retired]

I am installing a 1992, 28 HP Johnson outboard in my boat and I was told not to use a single (throttle/shift) controller, but rather to use a dual controller because that motor can be erratic. This does not make much sense to me, but I would like to know if any of you have had experience with this. Thanks.

Re: Motor Controls

Retired..... Many years ago, before OMC designed their present type one lever, two cable control units, there existed a makeshift unit (OMC) and a few third party control boxes that really weren't up to par. These units affected the shift only, pertaining to anything being erratic (my experiences).<br /><br />Pertaining to the later OMC control boxes such as you see today..... use them with confidence.
