Hi,
I am currently trying to replace the entire steering system on my older pontoon boat which has a Johnson 90HP (from around 1983) outboard engine. After looking at one possible solution, it states that it will not work with "older engines with thru-transom OMC engines" - see specs below.
Does anyone know what 'thru-transom OMC engines' refers to? I tried calling the seller but they were unable to help me. I would like to know whether this will work with my Johnson 90HP outboard?
Thanks in advance!
