I'm currently in the process of rigging a 2012 Honda Bf90 DKO to my 1968 Starcraft Starchief as part of my restoration. I purchase Honda side mount controller, Honda gauges new control cables, wire harness, etc. So far everything has been strait forward.
However I am having a problem identifying some parts I still need.
1. The new Honda side mount controller came with connection ends (metal screw on eye terminal connectors) for one end of the throttle and shift cable. I have looked everywhere and I can not find a part number for these this style of control cable end connectors for the motor side. The closest thing I can find by looking at pictures is a Yamaha version of these ends. Does anyone know where I need to look to find these? I have called a number of parts places off the net and in town and so far I have not been given any answers.
2. I'm also trying to hook the speedo tubing to the motor per the gauge instructions. I have already removed the old speedo pitot pickup from the boat that was used with old guages. I found the water speedo port on the motor and removed a screw on cap. The only advise I got so far from Honda Marine dealer was that the fitting was plastic and that I could get one from HomeDepot as he didn't carry them. I THINK what I need is fine threaded 1/8 -27 NPT to 1/8 hose barb fitting. Does anyone know if this is correct, or again where I can find this part from a Marine parts place?
I'm getting down to the small stuff which is is good thing at this point, but the small stuff is really holding up the project:joyous:
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
