Hi Everyone,

I just joined this forum because I'm getting in to boating and am pretty good with engines. I found a 25HP Johnson 25RL73A that was on a larger boat set up as a remote. I want to add a tiller back on to it and use it on a smaller boat. I'm having a hard time finding the parts and getting a rough idea of the cost to convert it back to the tiller. Any info would be helpful, thanks again!

Try ebay for the tiller parts.

Try ebay for the tiller parts.

Do you have a sense if the conversion will be difficult (as in not worth it)?

I'm looking around e-bay haven't found a match yet. I was hoping someone knew of a good Johnson graveyard to pick from.

Nick.....just as a FYI, the model number 25RL73A indicates a 25 hp 1973 motor.

I believe there is a list of salvage yards in the "Sticky: Top Secret File" at top of forum page. There's not that much to the tiller, provided the internal engine linkage is not missing. Check and see if all that linkage is there, hooking to carb throttle etc. The tiller does come up on Ebay from time to time. Have to keep an eye out for it.

Thanks for letting me know, that may be why I have not too much luck finding the assembly. To do this conversion is the "tiller assembly" the correct part name I'm looking for?

Nick....I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. However, I'll post this so your question goes to the top! Good luck!
