"Is this the complete carb kit

"Is this the complete carb kit for the above engine?

This is my 1st time rebuilding anything bigger than my 5hp lawnmower, I can't tell if all the plugs & shot are there, or know if they should be....

Also on the winter project list:
Replace Teleflex steering cable. The original cable is 13.5', I can only find 13' & 14', I'm planning on going with the 13'. I can't get the old one out without removing the engine, (beam too narrow) I don't have an engine lift, any tips on how to improvise to allow more room to get the cables in & out?

Add Tachometer:
Any suggestions on which one(s) will work?

Thank you for any help. Happy New Year.

In my opinion nothing much goe

In my opinion nothing much goes "wrong" with carburetors.Gas left in them will gum them up or a bad float valve will allow them to flood. That kit has all the parts you will need and more. Remember that 90 percent of carburetor "trouble" turns out to be something else.
 
"The boat has sat for 2 years.

"The boat has sat for 2 years. I replaced the water pump impeller last fall and syphoned as much of the old fuel out as I could. I refilled the tank with fresh gas, pulled the primer hose off & squeezed the bulb until I thought I had fresh gas and then reconnected the primer hose. The bulb got hard with no sign of gas coming out of the carb. When I started the engine it popped real bad and basically ran like crap. I kinda figured a rebuild would help. Are you saying that I just need to clean the carbs?

Thanks for your reply."
 
Likely cleaning is all it need

Likely cleaning is all it needs.Which means taking them apart and cleaning all the jets and tubes.Why did it sit for 2 years??

"On your cable, let me share m

"On your cable, let me share my experience with the Boston Whaler Montauks that I have owned. Same problem, can't get the cable out of the engine due to beam width. We used to carefully un-bolt the motor and use a hydraulic floor jack and a block of wood to carefully tilt the engine so that the starboard side is raised. We were always able to do the cables that way. You must be careful, however, because if the engine slips completely off of the transom, you will have about 300 pounds in your lap, or worse. The only other trick was to tie a good strong length of nylon rope to the old cable before you pull it out. The new cable is then tied to the rope, and you can easily pull it back into position without trying to fish it through a nasty bilge or other inaccessible area. Be sure to use plenty of sealant in the bolt holes, on the bolts, washers, etc., otherwise you may rot out the transom."
