Hi,
I've got an 85 evinrude 30 hp outboard that has been converted to a jet motor. When I bought the motor it had the throttle cable and forward and reverse cable with the control box. I'm wanting to take all that off for now and use it as a tiller handle but when I unhook the shift cable from the shifter on the side it wont stay in reverse. Stays in forward fine but I have'nt ran it on the water yet either so who knows. I was wondering if when you convert an outboard to use with throttle and shift cables is there something that might have been taken off. I'm pretty mechanical about stuff just never fooled with anything like this. I've got it on a 14 foot jon boat and dont have alot of room for stuff and dont have any way to steer it other than with the tiller handle. I plan on converting it to stick steer down the road just wanting to get it goin for now. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
model number is E30TECOA
Thanks
