Re: what type of control do I need

I agree with Dhadley. You can also use the old Johnson Shipmaster and Evinrude Simplex controls, but you will have to mount the key switch, electric choke switch and hot horn somewhere else.

My choice would be to take Dhadley's advice and look for one of the controls that he mentioned.

BTW, the original control for your motors was called a "Power Pilot." I think the Johnson version of it was a "Power Shift."

The Johnson equivalent of the 1973-1978 Power Pilot was the Johnson Command Center or Powershift II

Does anybody have any pictures of how the remote cables should attach to a manual pull 9.9 evinrude seahorse? recently bought second hand has had remotes fitted but i need to get cables and maybe a new control as the internal cable end fittings are missing.

Re: what type of control do I need

You should start your own thread. Go back to the forum section labled "Johnson & Evinrude Outboard, then look for a button that says "Create New Post." It located to the top left, right above the box with all of the thread titles in it.

When it opens, you will see a place to put your title. When asking for help on an outboard or outboard related repair, it best to put as much info that will identify your specific engine, as possible.

For example, I would put the the following for your post ...

"____ (year) Evinrude 9.9, Remote Cables"


Most of us tend to surf the thread titles and respond to issues that we feel like we have some expertise in. By putting specific information in your title, you will attract readers who can best help you on your motor.

BTW, the term "seahorse" usually refers to a Johnson motor, not an Evinrude. Since an Evinrude 9.9 and a Johnson 9.9 of the same year are essentially identical, that isn't all that big of a deal, but it is important to be careful about terminology. In other situations misuse might cause enough confusion to make it hard for people to help you.

Welcome to iboats - its a good community and there are some very smart and very knowledgeable people around here.

In the mean time, here's some reading for you. Anyone of these controls would work for you. Note that one of my examples uses a dual control for example purposes, but a single control version of it would work the same way. Any of these controls can usually be found on EBay and other web sites, as well as in local outboard "boneyards."

Re: what type of control do I need

I just installed a remote for that very engine. I used a Teleflex side mount model MN universal single lever control. It works very well. It can be installed either from the outside or if you have the room the lever can be slid thru the panel from the inside. It doesn't matter which method you use. It doesn,t use the original ignition switch and start lever arrangement that came with that engine so you will need to locate the ignition switch on the dash panel. You can install a separate choke switch on the dash as well using one of the purple wires. The Teleflex comes setup as a push-pull arrangement. That engine uses a push-push for the shift and throttle system. The instruction sheet with the Teleflex will tell you how to change the throttle action to push the engine throttle lever. To start the engine you can close the choke, but I find that in addition advancing the throttle abit gets it going faster (less cranking). You do that by pulling the handle out a little to disssengage the shift mechanism and advance the lever a little. You won't be able to start the engine in gear if you wire in the neutral start lockout switch which comes with the Teleflex. In any case you will find that that engine must be running before it can be shifted because it uses a hydraulic shift system in the tranny. Any attempt to force it can damage the tranny. It should start quickly and you will want to pull it back into idle position rapidly to keep it from racing while cold.
