This throttle control for a boat is mounted on the side of the boat.
I'm not sure what I'm saying. My replacement for a 1998 Johnson Evinrude 225 was frozen and would not move when I got it. I was able to return it in the end, but I had to cover the cost of return shipping. I'm not going to buy anything else from them.
It could, because mine was for a 1998 225 hp Evinrude Johnson, but it took weeks to arrive, and when it did, it was broken. Dealing with the supplier was a nightmare. I eventually returned it and was given a refund, minus the $37 for return shipping. That is a vendor with whom I would not do business. Depending on how it's currently wired (with plugs or hardwired with butt splices), you might need to add cable connector plugs as well.

When I received the control, I could tell from the material that it was not as well made as the factory one. In addition, the wires were of a very fine gauge. After a few fishing trips on it, while running down the river, I smelled something burning and saw smoke coming from the console, and the boat died. As the wires continued to melt, I unplugged the harness before they were completely melted. I rewired my harness and reconnected my original switch, which was made in the console, after being towed back to the ramp. The throttle lever now has a lot of wiggle room. and when I got home from work, my motor had been trimmed all the way up, and the trim is now just starting to work on its own. I filed a complaint with the seller, but received no response. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS KNOCK OFF, BUY A FACTORY ONE.
The original version is more appealing to me. However, when it comes to boats that I use offshore, I am extremely picky and anxious.
The key switch on this product that I purchased for my boat is a complete waste of money. You'll either have to purchase a new OEM key switch or repurpose your old one.
Fkn pos! The trim switch popped off and began sparking after 6 months of fun in the sun. I'm guessing it was made in China.
