[QUOTE="seaarc, post: 83069, member: 419"] I found this old motor at a local dealer and he had throttle controls that would work with it. I bought the stearing wheel and cable from a boat supply store. You will have to determine where you want your console mounted in the boat and then take measurements for the stearing cable because they come in all different lengths. My cable was made by Teleflex. You can get more information from there web site. As far as the console I built it from 2x2's and plywood. Good luck let me know if you have any more questions. Oh yea I forgot about the jack plate. The reason for it is because the motor I found was a long shaft and my transom was too short for it so I found this mini jack plate to raise it up to the proper height. Chances are if you find a motor with remote stearing it will be a long shaft. Unless you have a tall transom you will need to adress that by either building it up or use a jack plate. Ok enough of my rambling :lol: Good luck. Dave [/QUOTE]
