How to add remote steering to an old outboard

That's it! three items to make your boat steer.

Great job! This is exactly what I have been looking for for my old aluminum boat with a old Johnson Super Seahorse 33. I am so tired of steering from the back. I'm gonna do this this weekend... Gotta get my buddy to weld. $20 and a beer sounds like a good deal. :-)

Great stuff. If you haven't got yourself an expensive ac tig welder you can always do what I did. I use aluminium brazing. It's strong but not as strong as tig welding. I wouldn't braze what you did there but for everyday welding on the boat and welding up cracks and rivet holes in the boat I use aluminium brazing. Plenty of YouTube videos on the subject.

I call that a handle deal, also
Your info helped me with my situation, thx

[MichaelMyers]

You looked so happy when you were driving there at the end!

The bent rod that connects to your outboard is called a steering link arm.

Hey guys! Thanks for the views and the comments. Sorry this wasn't the greatest HOW-TO video, I worked a 12 hour graveyard shift and came home and filmed it before going to bed.

I will film another video soon on the remote steering and I'll try to make it a little more informative and detailed. My camera is broken but I already ordered the replacement parts for it so I'll hopefully film it soon. I have a lot of video's for projects I want to do soon.

I had no idea .... I love to do it but my first boat... I'm very new on it... seem like I need a lot more detail how to build...😂😂😂

[kevinobrien]

Now I know what to do with my old Elign

[Noahlochner]

Do it! This was surprisingly easy to do. Just order the steer tube and cable, and pay a friend to weld some tabs to the tube, and bolt it right in.

[OtterLakeFlutes]

I guess I'm also dreading addressing retrofitting gear/throttle control as well...

[darrylb]

Good vid but your buddy should have welded that tube for the beer alone.

What about shifting? The cables come with shift cable and attachment?
Tomoro I gotta look at my old boat and see if I can rob the steering console, throttle handle and all the cables to make it work on a motor I just got. The old boat I’d be robbing is a merc, the new one is an evinrude, both are from late60s/early 70s, hopefully I can make it all work and save a lot of money. I seen a vid to ad electric start too, but I’d be ok with pull rope for that...

Would love to see how u made the actual thing that the wheel mounts too

[TheFrogfeeder]

Hello, I’m doing a similar project, but have been trying to use equipment I already have. The steering kit is off a merc that goes thru the motor bracket, trying to use for a 66 Evinrude. I don’t think I’m getting enough “throw”, the motor doesn’t turn very much at all, have been trying all different mounting options and offsets. The how long is the actual shaft in this kit, not the linkage from the kit to the motor, but the sliding sharft part of the kit that the linkage attaches too?? The shaft in mine is around 10 inches, I’m not sure if there is a standard measurement or all brands are different? Seems like it needs to be longer, granted I have not driven the boat yet but it seems to me it’s not turning enough.

[TommyAmarantos]

Was that sharp enough steering? On the water?
I have a similar set up and I can’t figure out if it’s steering sharp enough

[carlvan]

Can you tilt the motor up like you know all the way with that bracket on there

[dteg]

How did you add the throttle cable to the tiller handle

[anonymmouse]

do you start motor on console? how do you modified the starter cable? how do you add the cable?

[chrisbeall]

Man please tell me you have picture of the layout of the inside of this boat! I’m rebuilding my 16 foot and can’t think of the layout I want. But watching this video I think I found exactly what I want!

[rjk]

We're you/are you able to tilt the motor up with that setup. Looks like it might be in the way. If not I'm gonna do the same exact thing.
Thanks
