Hi everyone. I'm new here and came across this site while looking for an answer to a question I had. So far I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for so its time to ask.
A little background. I just picked up a 1955 (I think, based on serial number) 15hp Evinrude fastwin. Its in great shape, runs well, idles down to trolling speed, and is super clean. It does need a paint job but that's no big deal.
Anyway. The motor is setup for and has the hand tiller installed. It also has the locks for the cables to run remote setup. I would like to set it up for remote. Now my question. Can I set this up with modern controls with out going nuts having to fabricate all sorts of things? I don't mind doing a little fab but I don't want to spend excessive time and money. I have found articles on using the old omc shift/throttle boxes, and one on the old cable over sheave steering but not on using newer components.
I'd like to use a push / pull steering cable setup and a two lever control like this one from teleflex. http://www.jamestowndistributors.co...=11069&familyName=Teleflex+Top-Mount+Controls
Is any of this possible or just a pipe dream? Any insight you can offer would be great. Thanks for the help.
