New here, hope this hits the right topic area.
I've an 82 Cajun which has blown up the E150 motor, rebuild is stupid money and the price of the replacement unit I found was an amazing deal. I purchased an 85 J175 motor and can see one problem I didn't anticipate. The steering on the 82 E150 is dual while the steering on the J175 is designed for a single. Mostly it appears to be a straight across swap with a little mod to the tilt because the boat has dual tilt controls,Not a big issue. My pondering is do I eliminate one cable or do I try and swap mounts ( tremendous undertaking I'm sure. ) from the E150 to the J175.
