Default Splicing new Evinrude controls to pre 96' cable

I have a pontoon boat with an 80's Evinrude 115 and I need new controls. I'm trying to avoid buying the new cable/adapter and i'd like splice the new 96+ controls in. I don't have a system check gauge so no issue there.

Can this be done? I realize the wires are not color matched. But it seems doable.

Thanks,

I would think you could buy an adapter and plug n play.

I can, but the cheapest I'm finding one is in the $200 range. I'd rather put that money into other accessories for the boat if I have the option.

Well, I was quite surprised at how easy it was, considering the lack of information online and the amount of people I found recommending just buying the cable. It took maybe an hour to install the controls and wiring was straightforward.

Good to know, It's nice when something works out nice and easy for a change.
