A 1994 Johnson is really a Johnson. more
Haven't done that swap but I do know that each Mfg. OMC, Yamaha, MC all have different lengths of throw for the controls.
If you can get around that the wires can be spliced.
A 1994 Johnson is a two stroke motor. A newer Suzuki is very likely a four stroke motor. If it is a Dxx, it's a two stroke. If it's a DF it's a four stroke. Therefore, wiring will likely not have an available adapter to match the Johnson harness to the Suzy harness. Next, the "throw" of the throttle and shift assemblies may not be the same and you cannot adjust for that. Throw being the amount the cables move when you move the lever. Full throttle on the Johnson control may or may not move the throttle full open on the Suzy. Then there are the cable end adapters that mate the cables to the Suzy engine. Are you getting the idea that this is not a simple yes-no or can I make it work scenario?? Lastly, Some engines pull the cable to open the throttle. Others push the cable to open the throttle. Yamaha within their own engine line does it both ways. more
So is it as simple as installing the Suzuki remote and just using the ignition on the remote? Would the ignition wiring be all integrated in the electrical plug that goes from the remote to the outboard? The current ignition wiring I think goes from the dash and is routed under the floor or something. Can I just let those wires lay there not hooked up to anything and basically just use only what comes with my new controls? [links]
Also, a group of customers have expressed their disappointment with Evinrude’s after-sale customer services since some customers had to wait for too long to get the proper response from the manufacturer regarding servicing problems.
Sometimes, users encounter that the lower unit seal is leaking at the prop shaft. This is not particularly an issue of Evinrude G2 models, it can occur with any outboard motor brand.
Most consumers have expressed their satisfaction and acknowledged that the Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard models not only look attractive because of their outer look, but these models run flawlessly and require minimum maintenance.
Though Evinrude G2 series models can perform better than many well-known four-stroke outboard motors, still, there are some problems that consumers should keep in consideration before making the purchase decision. more
The nuts or bolts on the gearcase and exhaust housing extensions may come out loose, which will allow the gearcase assembly to detach from the outboard engine.
Evinrude and BRP have claimed that their latest E-Tec G2 outboard motor models are designed and engineered with innovative technology to overcome the previous technical issues customers experienced with their previous release around 2016-17. here
Lastly, BRP will be consolidating Alumacraft manufacturing into one single facility, namely its Saint Peter, MN location; consequently closing the Arkadelphia, AK plant. All of these changes will impact 650 employees globally. Already, a 10-week halt in production has reduced the production run for 2020, which has resulted in scarcity at dealerships. To offset this, some dealers in heavier-trafficked locations are taking to purchasing inventory from lower-traffic dealers just to meet demand.
Wednesday, May 27th, BRP announced the termination of its Evinrude E-Tec and E-Tec G2 outboard engines. As the Sturtevant, WI facility will be repurposed for a yet-to-be-announced production line, BRP has finalized an agreement with Mercury Marine to continue to privately supply outboard engines exclusively for its boat brands – most notably Alumacraft, Manitou and its latest acquisition, Australian boat manufacturer, Telwater. here
It appears that COVID-19 is far more lethal than previously expected. But it’s lethality isn’t so much towards human lives (although one life is too many), but rather, to jobs and companies. To date, 36 million Americans are unemployed – an increase from 4% to 16% according to the US census. Businesses large and small are feeling the crushing weight of the forced closures, and sadly too many are collapsing under the load. more
“Our outboard engines business has been greatly impacted by COVID-19, obliging us to discontinue production of our outboard motors immediately. This business segment had already been facing some challenges and the impact from the current context has forced our hand,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “We will concentrate our efforts on new and innovative technologies and on the development of our boat companies, where we continue to see a lot of potential to transform the on-water experience for consumers,” he added.
