Awesome vid thanks! Just getting started in this boating thing and don't have money for buying new stuff so buying old stuff that's been sitting around for years of course no keys! This is going to save me a lot of grief! Thank you sir!

Thanks so much for this video! I misplaced my key and need to take my boat in for work. The shop was not happy about the thought of having to spend time changing out the key switch. I googled and this came up! The controller you showed is EXACTLY like mine. I followed you link to EBAY and got a set coming. I am SO relieved!

Shops are weird, its almost like they think to themselves "More work?!?!" I don't know why they don't have a set of keys for this very reason. They could figure out what key it is, then charge the customer $20 for a copy, and the person would be happy about it. But no, they just frown. But hey, I'm glad you found this video.

Just got a 1976 evinrude power cycle with no key. Thinks it’s the generation right before the one you have there. When I looked at the ignition switch without removing it I see “1904”. Not sure if I can get a key with that number? Also the detent ball fell off and I’m not sure how the heck I put that back lol

Brandon, my toggle switch on my throttle that controls the trim, goes down but won't go up. Do you have any thoughts on where I can get a replacement. I have the same throttle that you have on this video. Any thoughts would help. Thanks so much

eBay, or consider a dash mounted switch. I would take a good long consideration mounting a switch somewhere else before buying another used one. However, it could be the handle itself, or a dirty/bad connection at the connector. Check those first of course.

Thanks for the video. Please can you tell me the cause of the problem. I removed the battery terminal while the engine was running. The alarm on throttle controls started beeping and since then, it has not gone off. In the beginning, while I was not touching anything, when I make contact, it beeps briefly and goes out. I start the engine and don't whistle anymore. Please can you tell me the problem. Where the problem arose. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Hi Bandon I've the exact same set of remotes as in this video ...ive rebuilt them and now trying to set them up . I can get forward and neutral but the cable won't allow the gearshift to move far enough back to ingage reverse ....if I adjust the cable to go far enough to engage reverse it then won't allow the forward gear to engage... so basically I have forward or reverse but not both ...is there a magic measurement or setting ...can you help ...

My controls are slightly different from that which are shown in the video, but one knob is for a tachometer wiring harness and the other is a throttle tension adjuster.

Brandon, Hello, thank you for your viedeos...I have an Evinrude 115799S with the stock 1977 remote but it needs the tachometer wire which was somehow lost. Are those available or should I find out if someone could make me one, I think it is 2 wires but I'm not sure. Good job on your craigslist pontoon rebuild.

Probably not. Chances of getting the same key are slim. Besides, a new switch will last you another 20 years. By then you'll be bored with it and buy a different engine/boat.
