Johnson V45 remote steering?

[davidk]

I’m looking for guidance on setting up a 1929 Johnson V45 for remote steering. Was there a steering bar offered back then?  I don’t see one in my parts manual.  Also interested in guidance on how to set up remote throttle.

My friend, Lincoln, has this bar on his V45.  We couldn’t find it in the parts manual.  He thinks it may have been fabricated rather than original.

I found this in an old “Useful Accessories” brochure.

David, does your accessory catalog mention these exhaust cutout’s. I have been told by some that you could buy the motors with these installed. Did some motors just come with them? Would like some documentation to know if that was really the case.  Are they really a Johnson part, or aftermarket item? Were they sold at the dealership? Would a dealer  install them, or  were they DIY.  

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
