Sorry to add another re-power thread but...
I've just completed the remodeling (can't call it restoring) of my 1969 13'. I'd love to replace my 2000 Johnson 30 hp (loud and smokey - AKA 2 stroke) with a new Mercury 25 or 30. Since I just finished rebuilding the cable/pulley steering and control box for my current motor, I'm curious if anyone has repowered and kept their Cable/pulley steering.
Also wondering if anyone has taken a new 25 Mercury tiller model and modified to the cable/pulley steering and control box??
Thanks as always - the info on this site has allowed me to make this boat look great!

I rigged newer Merc with the old pulley system. My personal page shows it (but no close ups). Works good. Binkie has a petter photos on his personl page.

Good luck.
