Reply To: Convert 1977 25 Hp to tiller version

OK, well the part numbers for the tiller steering brackets are different for the 75 vs 77 tiller steer models. I don’t know why though, it is not too tough to pull the exhaust housing/powerhead off the swivel to check it out though (provided they are fresh water motors and the mounts don’t break). I don’t think the powerheads will swap between those two different style midsections. Perhaps the tillers/gear shafts are different lengths between the two models, which wouldn’t be an issue since you are using all the stuff from the 75 model.
Maybe someone else has further knowledge on this subject…I would look for a used steering bracket before attempting the swap though…
