Outboard

[phat_rat]

...did they make a 10hp-15hp with forward controls/steering? or was 20hp-25hp it?

Currenty have a 25hp with tiller steer but have aquired a centre console for my boat so going to modify and down size outboard.

any help would be great...

Swan Boat Hire at Maroochydore have 14ft Center Consoles/Side Consoles for hire uses and im pretty sure they only have 15hp MAX motors to keep the hire boats from not going above 6 knots.. they are fitted with steering and a control box.. the motors are yamaha outboards.. so im sure that you can get small outboards fitted with steering and throttle controls

Rat,
saw one (I think a Yammy) on a small tinny Sunday at Sundown Marine. Just caught my eye because the cables were connected "externally" - one to the 'standard' gear shift lever and the other to a second lever (I assume throttle) I guess there's not enough room in the small motors to fit all inside . Steering set-up looked fairly normal.

Cheers

Why not use the 25? fairly simple to convert, goes faster too, also will the 15hp have the guts to lift the nose with your/extra weight forward when you find some rough water? less safe imho. nq
