Where can I find the steering and throttle controls for my 56' Johnson 15? I need the throttle leavers/throttle cable/shifter cable and the bar with the pulleys that mount to the carrying handle.

I'm trying to get my old sea flea back to it's ol' glory days.

Cheers

They're quite common and used up til the 70's. Try used places. Craigslist, etc.

The Simplex/Ship Master remote controls are on e-bay all the time. Make sure the ones you buy include the cables, even if the cables are shot, because the cable ends do not come with the cables. New cables are available right here at iboats and not too expensive.

The steering connector can also be found on e-bay from time to time, but expect to pay a bit for one.

Did you find your throttle controls? I am looking to for a tiller handle?
