I have a 1980 C25 Swing Keel with a 1996 Honda 9.9 Motor. I want to install a remote control for steering & throttle. Does anyone have any information on this. I got a price on a new motor with all of this and it came to $3,400.00.

I bought my Honda 9.9 electric-start 28" shaft outboard just over three years ago from a Canadian dealer because of the fabulous exchange rate. I agree that it is a pain having to go to the few Honda dealerships around to get parts. Good thing the motor

I have a 8HP Nissan (I think I paid about $1,200 a few years ago). Nissan/Tohatsu offers cockpit controls for $250. I bought the kit last year, and it's a simple installation. I have to dock in fairly open water, and it gets a little tricky when the win

Just visited the C-25 Tech tips section of the site. There is a kit you can get for the Honda. Go to the Tech tips section of the national site and look under Suzy Q engine controls.
