Johnson & Evinrude OMC Shift/Throttle Control

[@whiskeyone97]

Tom, any idea where i can get just the trim/tilt rocker switch for that same OMC controller? Mine only goes down but not up anymore

[@tomspontoons]

Unfortunately that might be no longer available. Call Vans Sport Center and ask for Brad in parts. That’s the only place I know of who might have that sort of thing. 616-364-0666 www.vanssports.com

Ok thanks, I'll try them.

Hi, where can I get one of that control box to buy

[@tomspontoons]

Call Van's Sport Center 616-364-0666 They stock tons of good used parts including control boxes.

​@tomspontoons will do, but it would be better for me if they had an online stor because I'm from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

​@@tomspontoonsor will the yamaha ones on amazon work

[@tomspontoons]

@@bago4205 Be very careful with those controls. I've not had good luck with them lasting, and the local marina near me has seen several that had issues and needed to be replaced!

Hey Tom, I have this same OMC/BRP binnacle controller in my 99 Lowe Suncruiser Trinidad 240 linked up to my 98 Evinrude 115SPL. Going to be doing an engine swap to a 2001 Yamaha F100 in a couple weeks. Any idea if this controller will hook up to the Yamaha? Not sure if the S/T ends on the BRP cables are the same as the Yamaha or not. I do have the Yamaha 704 binnacle controller but that model doesn’t have a key switch built in like the OMC so I was hoping just to mess around on the motor side even though I’d have to splice my ignition and trim wires. Thoughts?

I'm an advocate for using OEM brand components whenever possible. I would use that 704 control and purchase the Yamaha key switch and 10 pin ignition harness. It'll make wiring your gauges a ton easier and won't require you to do a bunch of cutting and splicing just to get stuff to work. That being said, if you keep your OMC control, Evinrude does make a set of shift/throttle cables that have the OMC fitting on the control box side and the 3300 style cable that your Yamaha would need on the motor side. I ended up finding a good used BRP control box locally for this customer and swapped them out. His OMC box was pretty worn out and shifting was difficult.
