what controls do i need for a johnson motor?

[shane1]

right now i have a 1987 65 hp suzuki motor with electric start,power trim,etc.on a pontoon..I am looking to replace it with a 1989 johnson 9.9 motor with electric start and I am not sure about trim.Can I use the controls already on the boat for this motor?If not, can i use anything at all,like key,kill switch,etc...thank you

If i read this right why would you swap a 65hp for a 9.9 on a pontoon, is this pontoon like a party bardge. You might get about 2 mph with that motor.

there are a few lakes with a 9.9 hp limit and i would need like five batteries to troll around there all day
