So I picked up this mid 90's(?) BF30A (S/N BAWL-1003xxx), and it seems to be missing a piece or two. My local Honda shop is down for roof repairs, so I'm hoping to find information here. My boat (18' Westcoaster Bayrunner Open) had an old 2 stroke 30 Yamaha with a tiller that was long in the tooth (and can't run in my local river) so I wouldn't have any problem with converting to a tiller handle. This motor came with remote controls, I have a console I can easily install in the boat, but the steering system is lacking parts (at least I think it is). The tube itself is WAY too long to work with my teleflex steering cable and doesn't have threads to attach the sheath. There also seems there should be bushings or spacers to keep the motor from shifting side to side between the mounts. Also, it looks like there should be a cover plate for the area that looks to be the tiller attach point where the controls route into the cowl. Looking through the parts books I can find, I'm finding it difficult to determine what I need to make this install right.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer!
