Re: Evinrude 'Simplex' Remote Control
You may have to rube Golberg it.The shifter is easier. Just forward of the shift handle you MAY see two indents that are ,or could be drilled and tapped to accept the hardware for the shifter assy. The throttle,well,first look at the throttle linkage rod that connects up under the flywheel on the port side ,inside the eng.At the foot of that MIGHT be a curved arm with a pin that doesnt seem to do anything,pointing upward. IF it's there,that is where you would attache the throttle ,the kind with the stainless slide over clip.Then forward ,in the cowling pan ,might be tappings.like I described on the shifter ,to accept the throttle cable to secure it.I believe the handle must be removed so as to gain access for the cable.My suggestion is to find an engine ready to go,but the sailmasters and the like ,SOME were ready for almost any application,If you have a patient OMC dealer,he should be able to get the parts.It could be costly,so you might look for a motor ,on EBAY perhaps,mabe a blown eng ,where you could swap your powerhead,P/h swap would be easier I think.
