I've never owned a boat I'm trying to put a boat together this summer my first step was purchasing a boat motor. I was told that the older engines are sought after because they were built to last longer so I bought a 67 Johnson seahorse 40 horsepower I guess my question is can I convert that from pull start to ignition with a steering wheel cables and throttle and throttle box ?
