need to make it turn.. used what I had.. I used a steering cable tube from a Force50 I had kicking around.. I sold the Force85 I was running and picked up two 40hp 73 and a 75... it works awesome too, the tilt lock works as it should too.. cost me nothing.. lol

Awesome and creative.

But anybody doing that should be aware that he becomes a "manufacturer" and incurs liabilities.

Whats w the angle iron under the motor clamps?

the flat spots on the clamps are missing.. nice sharp points to dig into the wood.. plus it's a little tender.. just trying to get the rest of this fishing season out of it.. this winter I'll replace all the wood in the old girl.. it's will be ok,

It's a good (and important) project, with a few different approaches. Woodonglass over in the hull repair section has a special potion for sealing wood surfaces.

that was my plan. gonna rap all the wood in glass.. getting good at it too, I'm building a 22 foot Penn Yan into a center console.. she had rotten stringers soooo away we went.. gutted it to just a hull and replaced everything.. never again.. never..
