So I bought a boat that did not have a motor, this is a project boat and I have never hooked up a motor before nor have I been around enough boats to see what parts are needed to hook them up. So I need to know if there is anything that I need to purchase to hook up my motor and how do I do it.
I have a 1990 Procraft Bass Boat that I have to assume the steering is original. The motor is a 1970 Johnson 115HP model # 115esl70d. I know this is not the motor that belongs on the boat, but please understand this is the first boat project that I have ever done, and I would rather not purchase a $15k motor to watch it sink to the bottom of the lake, at least this one only cost me my PS3.
So I have a Dual cable steering system, but there is nothing attached to the end of the cables heres a pic:
And the motor does not have anything on it either I am looking for the pics of my motor but I can not find them. I know there is nothing broken off of the motor there are just no attachments. Any help is appreciated I know Im giving limited info but if I can get the pictures of the motor tonight I will put them up here to help.
Also I can not get the hub to release from the bolt and I had to cut the dash, are there any secrets of how to get them apart. I have used every lubricant I can think of....
I was able to get the steering wheel off, but thats it.
