    Praying New to me ragin cajun

    I just bought an 84 Ragin Cajun to restore. It has a Johnson GT 150 on the back and I can't find the oil tank for the VRO. The VRO has been bypassed and I want to reconnect and use it. I would be grateful if anyone could help with the row of accessory switches, all of the labels are gone. I believe it has a battery charger built in to use on the shore power plug. I really want to get this machine going again.
    Thanks for the help.

    Check in with the Evinrude/ Johnson area of the forum. There are some real wizards there.

    Vro was bypassed, so no need for oil tank. po probably just chucked it. VRO needs to have a tan colored nipple or you will need to upgrade to handle the ethenol. You might want to just keep mixing.

    This is a pic of the switches I am trying to figure out. I have no power to them at this time to see what they operate. Sorry it has been a while since starting this thread but I have been busy. I think I'm just going to have to do a complete re wire. The boat had an old Lowrance unit installed also but that is going away as not all of it was intact.

    That's a tough one. Pic of backside would be helpful. You should have main (4g) motor wires AND one positive and 1 negative wire hooked up in the rear. Are there any other switches? Sometimes they run a main switch over with trottle, near the key.

    Ragincajun84, I have those same switches on mine. There is a master switch to the left of the steering wheel that takes a key to operate it. Mine don't work either

    Have a Paul Elias.

    From left to right on that panel ( BILGE/ COURTESYLIGHTS/NAV LIGHTS/FUEL/LIVEWELLS) all are on/off except Nav lights which is a rocker for either anchor light only or both
    Bilge and Livewells have that red light below them so you can see they are on.
    Mine is operated by a master key on the left, has to be turned on ( red indicator on the bottom right when it is on) and the key switch has always been funny, even tried to tighten with no luck.
