I have recently acquired a project: a 1958 Arkansas Traveller 14 ft runabout (fiberglass) with a 1959 Evinrude Lark 35 big twin. Boat is ok, and motor looks ok, but we shall see. No steering was found, so I'm starting from sctratch there. I've been thinking I will save a bunch to put in the original setup but I need to find a drum helm to get started.
I will have to mount four pulleys, and find the double pulley that fits that engine bracket.
I know the teleflex setups will work, but by the time I get a kit, wheel, transom mount, Clevus kit and various bits and pieces, I'll be shelling out near 450 for the whole pile. I figure I could find the drum helm for around 80, and 4 pulleys with cable will not be a lot, plus it's original, and probably steers better.
