1997 Evinrude 15 hp question

[Harleyflhp]

I am looking at replacing the old engine on my son's boat (1988 evinrude 15 hp) with a newer (1998 Evinrude 15 hp). The old motor uses cable and pulley setup and the new motor has a tiller. What would be involved in swapping the motors? I tried looking on Evinrudes parts diagrams, but I don't see any conversion kits from tiller to remote steering.

There are six bolts.Four on the out side on the mid section.Two under the motor. one on each side.The two studs under the motor are pretty tricky.I use a pencil eraser to start them.You will need a new exhaust gasket.

I also have a 74 15 hp.There are six bolts on the midsection.You have an e clip on the tiller handle to remove it.
