Steering Conversion?

[turtle1173]

Hi all,<br /><br /> I am getting ready to buy another outboard for my boat. I currently have a 1976 55HP Chrysler. It has a fairly new steering system but it is the "stand off block" type. I think that is what it's called. Anyway, the engines I'm looking at are of the "tilt tube" variety (as most are).<br /><br />Question: Since my steering setup is only 1 year old, is there some way to make my steering system work with a different outboard that has the tilt tube? Any conversion kits or something like that?<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Shane

Re: Steering Conversion?

If you have a Teleflex or Morse steering setup, the only question would be, Is the cable long enough?<br /><br />All you'll need to do is unscrew the cable from your current bracket's tube, and the cable should fit right in the tilt tube.. Only thing you'll need is a steering link arm...
