[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 481029, member: 12995"] There are a lot of parts available for steering and controls so you don't need to go OEM. You just need to check what style of connections you have at the motor and then buy the stuff for it. You also need to measure the length so you don't come up short with the cables. You may want to post up some pictures showing your motor around the mounting area to see what type of steering it takes as well as pictures under the hood showing the control cable setup it will need. Then people can help you find the right parts. It's better to ask a lot of questions so you don't waste money buying the wrong parts. Are you planning on running the console farther forward or more towards the center of the boat? I ran my cables along one side of the boat. It would be cleaner to run them under the floor but I didn't really want to cut any openings and my hull is a jet tunnel so there isn't a good center area for them when you get back to the tunnel.
