1993 60 hp Johnson to 2000 controls

[JohnT 1124]

Hello I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it's possible to run a 1993 60 hp Johnson with a with the controls from a 2000 Johnson that I already have on the boat . Some body told me it would have be a 96 or newer for it to work . Could anybody shed some light on this subject ? Any help or information would be great . Thanks

I think your somebody is correct. The controls were updated between 95 and 96 models from my research.

Do they make any kind of adapter ? I think that my connection is a flat plug and the old one's was round . Yes or no ?

Yes ,you can get an adapter from BPR or CDI. Alarm is system is not the same. Me, I would cut the connectors off of the control harnes and hardwire to engine. Leave a 6 inch pigtail on the connectors you cut off, so can be reused.

Wire colors same except for the warning horn system. I`m will try to find something on the alarm system. Visting in South Florida for a month, have to find manual with wiring diagram.

the adapters are available. you could search ebay, I have seen many there before. you need a Pre 95 motor to a post 96 control adapter.
I have one on my boat now....

here you go , took me 45 seconds!! ha ha

good luck
