Hi all! new member here and am really liking what I see. I have a self inflicted dilemma I was looking for advice on. I haven't owned a boat in 30+ yrs and just bought a 1985 16' lund pro pike. It has a 1984 johnson 40hp remote steer motor on it and that is the problem. I would prefer a tiller steer so I could easily take it off and put on a smaller motor for the 10 hp and electric only lakes I want to fish. The motor is also bolted on thru the transom. I don't even see a way to mount a trolling motor to the transom because of the steering linkage on one side of the motor and the cable on the other.
I'm thinking either convert it to a tiller steer (if even possible) or sell it and pick up a tiller steer to replace it. What other options might I have?
