1979 Johnson 100HP outboard. I'm in the process of putting in a throttle. I have the two control wires that go back to the back of engine complete. The throttle has two cables. one plugs in for the ignition. The other one has a 5 pin round male plug which I believe needs a cable with a female plug and I believe it controls the tilt/trim. What would be the name of this cable?

Not sure if I needed to ask this in electrical or this forum.

I had time to go by my boat store before the closed. The throttle control has a cable that comes out and has a 5 pin male. I needed the female adapter to 5 wires that goes to a junction box. They didn't have the junction box. Could someone tell me if I actually need a junction box or where I could get one that will work for a 1979 100HP Johnson?

Welcome to iboats and good luck w your Johnson outboard and throttle setup.
