I have a 1988 Johnson 48 SPL that we would like to put on a 16' Glass semi V fishing boat in the tiller configuration. The motor is configured to run with remote controls now. The boat is designed to run a tiller and rated for 85 HP. Does anyone know where you might find these tiller parts used? I'm watching ebay and have heard that you can use about any handle if you can figure out the controls. We have heard a suggestion that we mount the remote control box close to the seat, coil the cables under the deck, fabricate a handle with a kill switch lanyard that bolts on where the steering hooks up and go fishing.
Has anyone ever done this or something like it successfully, or does anyone know where we might find these parts?
