No. You may check CMC.com. as they make one but costly.

Thanks for the info. $670? Yeah that is steep, though Ill consider it (I have alot invested in this motor).

A second question, I have this motor connected to the more modern "push-pull" steering - if thats what you call it, but the trouble is I cannot tilt the motor all the way up because the transom bracket (which has the tube for the push-pull cable actually HITS the steering arm when the motor is tilted up. Is there a conversion kit that others have used which works well with this motor??

Thanks alot!
