Question:

will a red plug omc wiring harness work with a evinrude outboard?

i am changing outboards from a 85 omc seadrive to a 1990 evinrude, and need to know if the original boat harness will work on the evinrude, they both have the omc red plugs and connect easily.

Answer:

yup!
Absolutely.
Since OMC also builds Evenrude and Johnson identical to everything but the paint job and logo, you won't have any problems. When any manufacturer makes a major wiring harness change, they will change the plug/socket configuration to prevent letting all the smoke out of something from a wiring mismatch.
