50 horse outboard steeering help

[Jones064]

OK so i bought a 50 horse evinrude to put on my 17' glasspar but since im new to boats i know nothing about what type of steering components to use with it. Im taking off my dt115 and the steering cable goes through the front mount of the motor. Obvisouly 2 differnt type of steering setups btw. the 2 motors. Can I use the same steering cable and what do I need to mount for the evinrude for steering? Im broke so need cheaper ideas please

You might tell us the year or post a picture of the motor.

What you need is a stand off clamp block,it mounts to the boat,and clamps onto the cable assy ,then you need a link bar that goes to the engine from the cable.Go to the marine store on this site,look up steering parts and accessories,you should find what Im talkin about.

mike, i disagree, we need to know what motor he has, before giving any advice.
