REALLY NEED HELP Wiring a 1989 Johnson 130hp
I need to adapt a 1989 Johnson 130hp to a lobster boat. This boat is
being converted from a Volvo Penta stern drive. So far, the outboard is mounted on the transom, and the steering and fuel system is hooked up. The real problem seems to be in the wiring, and wiring diagrams are not very complete. The diagram I have only shows the engine wiring and connector, but not how the controls are hooked up to it. I've just ordered Intertec's wiring diagram manual which I hope will help. While this is my first outboard boat, I have a few years experience as an electronics tech so I should be able to do this job with the right documentation and advice. This outboard has a large, round red connector with 8 pins (2 largs pins and 6 smaller pins). I've called a few dealers and heard various stories on what I need. I think some of them were more confused than I was! Once said I need a harness and a "remote control" which includes shift/throttle, ignition, trim, kill switch, warning horn, etc all in ne unit for about $400. Another dealer said to just buy the harness for about $80 and a new ignition switch. If any of you have had a similar experience, can you please give me some advice? I don't want to spend anymore than I have to, but will spend what I need to get this baby wired up and running as quickly and easily as possible. What is the best way to get this motor wired and running? I'll order whatever is necessary for a first rate installation without cutting corners. Thanks, Syl |

Thanks, Syl You need a harness and a "remote control" which includes shift & throttle, as well as their associated cables & connectors, ignition & choke switch, trim control buttons, kill switch & tether, & warning horn. The harness also has the battery cables! Rob |

there are two ways you can go
an omc control box will include the wiring harness, with the red plug on the end, and the shift lever for the cables - throttle cable and shift cable. Accessories, tach power for fuel gauge trim indicator, can be accessed the control box just beneath the key. You should be able to find a used one for considerably less than $400. example http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tego ry=31283 the other route is to just by a wiring harness, it will come with the red plug. this will hook up to a key mounted separately on the dash, all of the wirring for the accessories will be included in the harness. you will have to get a separate shift box and cables for the gear shift and throttle.
