I think it might be a touch more complicated than that. A tiller steer OB requires a remote kit for the forward controls. The control cables and the steering cables have to be fitted to the console, routed through the boat or under the floor, and fitted to the motor. Haggard, did you do all this in under an hour???

Steering cables cost about $500 to $800, control cables cost around $120, the control box (throttle and keys) cost around $400, remote kit costs about $500. Did you use all second hand parts Haggard?

I have been there and done that. It is a lot more work and more expensive than I imagined when I took the project on 2 years ago, but it was well worth it and I am very happy with the result.
