Conversion from cable to rack and pinion steering on older outboard?


I just purchased a newer StarCraft aluminum boat (1976) to replace my old one (1962). I want to use my old Evinrude (1967) outboard motor on my new boat. The new boat has rack and pinion steering and I don't know how to convert my old outboard to this new steering system. I don't want to convert the new boat to cable steering. Does anyone know of a source of parts or information on how to make the conversion? I looked at a buddies' late model Mercury and it is a completely different set up than what I have on the Evinrude.

Thanks in advance!!!

Because of the age of your outboard, The steering cable will probably not adapt to the pivot tube on the outboard. You will need to get a transom mount adapter kit, available from any marine supplier that deals with Teleflex. This is a link to West marine, use the aluminum kit # 275776, no need for the extra expense of the stainless kit. You may also have to get the correct tiller bar (the piece that connects the cable to the motor, i don't think it comes with the kit.

There’s no economy of scale

What you say is true. However, the idea was to preserve the local governments, not make them obsolete. There can be little doubt that the local school board is intimately more aware of the needs of their schools than a bureaucrat in California [I'm from NC, so my example is meant to illustrate distance].

Further, as the costs of irresponsibility are shared by an ever growing number of people, there is a tendency to remove personal responsibility.

For the general example of this, see this explanation of the Tragedy of the Commons. Basically what happens when multiple shepherds use a common grazing pasture.

For the specific example, consider the warning the chief of police of that town in Texas gave as the hurricane came baring down on his city:

Police were going around in a dump truck trying to get holdouts to evacuate while there was still time. The police chief asked one stubborn couple to write their names and Social Security numbers on their forearms in black magic marker “in case something bad were to happen.” They soon changed their minds, and police were wading an aluminum boat through floodwaters to rescue them.

I was out fishing one day in a small aluminum boat when the 30-30 rifle, one of the old lever action cowboy rifles, that I had in the boat for alligators accidentally discharged and blew a hole in the bottom off the boat… so I’m now taking on water, in the Louisiana swamp, miles from the house, with no radio or cell phone. Thinking quickly we ran the boat to the nearest solid ground as water quickly began filling the boat, we made it to the bank just as water began coming over the back of the boat. Unloaded everything from the boat and stood in chest deep water to remove the motor, once the boat was cleared we flipped it over on the ground and fashioned a plug from an old leather glove and a small piece of wood that was laying around. Once we beat the plug in tight with a stick we flipped the boat back over, mounted the motor back up, put all our gear back in and headed to the house. Tl;Dr. Fixed a bullet hole in my boat in the swamp with a leather glove and a stick
