The tilting pin and several other parts on my 81 johnson steering bracket/mounting bracket are shot and I have found an 85 johnson 30 hp mounting bracket/steering bracket. The whole shooting match, for a lot less than it will cost me to piece together the parts missing or rusted out on my existing bracket.
But I am having a heck of a time matching up part numbers to see if it will fit my engine.
The model number of the engine the steering bracket is coming off of is
J30TELCOA
I'm making a wild guess here and assuming that the only thing that HAS to match up is the steering bracket and the pilot tube.
I am finding part numbers as follows for the 85, 30 hp
steering bracket part no.
0329647
and pilot tube part no.
0329648
Now when I switch over to MY engine( 1981 35 hp)
model no.

I'm coming up with a part no for the steering bracket as
0326044 BUT there is a note saying that the part number is not valid!
I'm getting a part number for the pilot tube for my engine of
0326315 OR 394343
Now to further confuse, I called the OMC dealer in town and gave them both model numbers and they called me back and told me that those models both use the same part numbers!
Can any of the gurus out there tell me if this bracket will fit my motor?
Thanks much!
