Anybody ever done it ?
I’ve been looking for used jet drive motors for a while now and it seems the only ones I can find are on center console boats.
I know they can be converted, I just don’t know any one that’s done it.

Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

You mean just swapping controls for a tiller?
Only done it on a Yamaha but it's fairly easy.

Yes.
Is it expensive to do so? This motor is also a Yamaha.

Nothing to it.

You can usually find a big tiller for around $450 and the fitting kit for a little over a hundred.

Actually depending on condition I may be interested in the steering helm and cables if you're getting rid of them. The motor I'm upgrading has the old school pulley system.

I have. I have a thread on here somewhere if you search for it

Bog, hit me up. I can do these in my sleep. Converting a jet motor is no different that any other Yamaha. Only difference is the foot.

I have converted a couple over the years. If Willy can’t help I probably can.

Thanks guys. When I pick up the motor I will give both of you a call.
BB, but of course.

Biggest cost is gonna be the tiller handle itself. You'd be hard pressed just to get the materials for the conversion for less than $600.
We need to talk anyways.
