In this video I rig a Yamaha F70 Outboard on the Boston Whaler Classic Montauk 17 using the correct Yamaha OUtboard Wiring Harness as well as Seastar Dometic universal control cables. I also include installing the Yamaha 704 Binnacle Control. I cover some critical items that are included in the Yamaha Service Manual. I am getting close to the finish line on this boat restoration. Hopefully will have this complete and sea trialed by end July!
