Calling all Johnson GT experts..
I have an 89 GT200 (J200STLCEB) with a blown powerhead, the block is beyond repair. So, my only option is to buy a used outboard which will cost me nothing less than a small fortune, or buy a used powerhead to throw on my lower unit. I found an '87 GT175 powerhead for $450 in good shape, all it needs is a lower unit and the electronics. I was looking at the parts breakdown of these 2 engines and I see that some of the electronics on the gt175 are different from the electronics on mine. Would any of my electronics work on the 175? Would it be worth it to buy the electronics I need for the gt175?
