i recently picked up a 1989 Force 35 that im putting on a 14ft V-hull and im not wanting to drill holes into the transom as it came off of a pontoon and it has those brackets. I did some searching on Ebay for the swivel type brackets you find on smaller outboards and i could only find some for the 1987-1988 Force 35 hp models.
I want to retain the remote steering setup but im not sure if the tilt tube will fit through the earlier models?
Does anybody have any experience with this and/or advice?

Thanks,
H

Bad link apparently. Thats what im worried about too. But, were the 35 hp models from anything earlier than 1989 just tillers??

They had the regular(no tiller) mounts.
The steering was a cable attached under the front of the lower cowl.

Teleflex or Sea Star steering systems.
