I'm in the market for an engine for my 15 ft jon boat. I ran across a 1967 johnson 20 hp and was wondering if it could be converted from tiller to remote steering?

Yes, it's easy to do. You need the remote controls of course which are common. And most folks take the spring out from the tiller handle which makes the whole system a lot easier/looser to use. You will also need the two metal clips that screw on to hold the cables on the engine. All easy parts to get. I was working on my '66 J20 today.

And welcome to the forum.
