I have a pair of '67 20 hp Johnys that I want to "tie" together. Looking for some ideas to make a tie bar so the motors turn the same.

Re: Twin Engine Tie Bar Ideas?

You can either buy a tie bar made specifically for this purpose, or use a large galvanized turnbuckle.

I need to get some stuff done now, but if you don't mind waiting a day or so, I will dig out the pieces of a system that I made years ago. I can then take a couple of digital pics and post them here.

No rush... I'd appreciate that. Just curious as to what others have done. Years ago I know this part used to be made. I really don't want a $300 plus hydraulic tie bar system either...lol..lol..
