Replacement controls

[Shreve884]

I have a 1978 Evinrude 115. The engine is in great shape, but the controls are worn out.<br /><br />Looking around on e-bay I see references to "10-pin" controls and other types. Is there a special kind of plug that I am looking for? Does it matter, since I am looking to replace both the controls and the cables?<br /><br />There is so much electrical tape around the base of my conrols that I can't tell if there is any type of plug there now, or of it's just wired in directly.

Re: Replacement controls

I have a 77 model V4, and the main plug on motor is red, so I think you want to match that up with red plug on controls. At least that's what I'm thinking. And it is a 10-pin plug on your motor too. And are the controls physically worn out or just needing adjustments? Are you having shifting problems, or throttle problems?

Re: Replacement controls

I don't get any acceleration until I've almost got the throttle all the way open. It's like getting 10% of the power from 90% of the movement ... then the last 10 of the throttle is where all the power is. <br /><br />Also, all the wiring inside is brittle and causing me ignition problems. I've been patching it up, but it all needs to be rewired. These controls have been rained on quite a bit as well.
