I fish a lot of 9.9 lakes. mostly with a lowes big jon 16x48, and a 9.9 Johnson is more than enough motor for me. I am a fishing not racing.

I will attempt to help you as much as I can. The part number for the " Remote control adapter kit" is Part number 398032. I don' believe that it is available anymore but it would not be overly hard to make the brackets and connect it to cables for shifting and throttle. The steering part is...

it is not that hard to do. See post under "Tiller to remote Yamaha" .

everyone interested in doing this should take a look at the kit that used to be available for Johnson/Evinrude. it contained the bracket and etc. for cable hook up for throttle and for shifting. It was a very simple kit and the same type of setup should work on many if not all small outboards.

That is a flange "bearing profile" Check out 8020.net or even better check out 8020 garage sale on ebay. They sell small pieces and used pieces on there for a good price. I am sure that there are many shapes for sale that will give anyone ideas. Some of the channels are excellent for installing...

Check out Janns Netcraft. they have the thread tensioners for 7.29 and rod drying motors for 11.49. You can also get some ideas from looking at their tools and then build your own. Also have some good info and links.

There should be a rail on the motor where the tiller arm used to mount. That is where you where you want to mount the tube. If that is no longer there you may have to fabricate a mount above where the motor clamps are. I have similar system that is not complete on an old chrysler 10 I was given...

try hooking the piece with the clamps on to the motor. Try to find a picture of an older 10 hp or under to see how it goes together. A picture of a motor with a steering wheel will be hooked up the same.

I would be in for an XL with extra belly room. NOT white though.

If you don't have to put off retirement, don't ! Like some other posters I don't know how I found time to work. If I lasted for 100 years more I could not get all I want to do done. I wish I had retired fifty years earlier. When I retired I learned that it was the only occupation I was suited...

I have been reading the posts and etc. for several years. It is one of my favorite sites. I never joined the forum until today. I am now mostly interested in repair and restoration. I am older and have a few of the injuries that happen over time so I am not as steady or as balanced as I once...
