[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 388915, member: 13702"] Everything was wet tonight, so no fiberglass. I did get the engine converted from the tiller to remote throttle & steering. I've got the throttle & shift controls adjusted and dialed in. It worked out nicely - I was able to reuse my throttle arm & pivot so there was no effect on my idle or engine side throttle adjustments. No pictures, as this was a very greasy endeavor. Unfortunately I broke one of the bolts holding the tiller arm on so I will need to drill into it and tap it tomorrow so that I can attach the steering plate and hookup the steering controls. The cables are in the boat, I just didn't mount the tilt-tube to the transom yet as I want to make sure I have the positioning right. I'm not using the tilt-tube in the motor mounting bracket because I want to be able to remove the motor with basic hand tools should I go to a carry-in launch. Hearing myself think that, I've got rotary steering, so it's actually easier to remove the steering cable with the engine should I need to pull it off and use the original tilt tube...oh well, better flip flop in my decision making now rather than later. This way I don't need to worry about the geometry of the steering being thrown off. Now where's that wire brush???? [/QUOTE]
