Hi.,
I Purchased a boat which had the steering cable and wheel already installed but no motor, i purchased a 68 johnson v4 but unsure how to connect the steering. If someone can help i would appreciate it, i have attached photos of the steering cable and the connection on the back of the motor.

The cable you have is a thru tilt tube type for a later model motor than the one you purchased.....that motor is meant to be connected to a cable and pulley type setup.

Yep, you have two different systems going on there, not made for each other ;)

It can be done with modifications, but won't be easy or cheap, and it will never work exactly right. There is a thread here somewhere that covers this topic.....

Good Luck :cool:
