hello everyone, i'm about to repower my 1974 montauk 17 (which iv'e owned for 30 years) still has the original merc 85 no power trim motor - i bought a new yam f70 after reading many posts (wanted to keep the weight down) i'm looking for help on what i need to purchase for controls/wiring also i'm thinking of going with a garmin 742xs (or similiar) that can be used in place of tac and speedo gauges.
so far i'm looking at -
control box - 704-48205-ro
main wire harness- 688-8258-60-00 (20')
single engine key switch 704-82570-12-00
do i need ?
command link in line hub assembly 704-82570-12-00
command link/command link plus gateway mar-gtway-kt-20
main buss harness
pigtail harness
also any thoughts on if it's best to stay oem?
thanks any help would be much appreciated!

Contact the crew at SIM Yamaha. They are a family dealer that ships everywhere.
When it comes to rigging, mfg's make it really hard to select the right components with compatibility and component limitations.
They have great customer service. Call their parts department.
